Black and White Photography "Toni Schneiders" Vol 1 | Featured Artist

Toni Schneiders, born in 1920, is one of the great German photographers of the 20th century.
With his formal, pictorial ambitions and his exciting motifs, he made a significant contribution to the renewal of photography after 1945. In 1949, he was a founding member of the fotoform group, which freed itself from the propaganda photography of the Nazi era through its artistic rigour and also set itself apart from the pleasing post-war photography, thus gaining international recognition.
Schneiders' images are characterised by formal rigour, virtuoso lighting and concentration on the essential pictorial elements. But they are also permeated by the artist's great interest in his subject, whom he depicts sometimes melancholically, sometimes poetically and sometimes cheerfully, but always with great empathy. In this way, Toni Schneiders succeeded in combining the rigour of fotoform, which was based on the New Objectivity of the 1920s, with his very personal, sometimes even humorous point of view. His photographs were published in more than 200 illustrated books.
The interplay of humanity, depth of content and formal rigour reflected in his work makes his works unique and a pleasure for the inclined viewer.

A great thing about these images, is that they illustrate that there is nothing really new in photographic art, but when it is well done, it never gets old

I agree although the biggest difference is our ability to enhance and manipulate images with editing software. Back in the day their images were “raw”……

[@plethoraofstuff8874]

It would be interesting to go back in time as a photographer and use their equipment back in the day to get the same quality of shot they managed so skillfully ….
