(PEACE NEWS)The early-to-mid-twentieth century: a time of rebellion and subversion within art. A time when the shape and structure of the modern world became malleable, turning inwards, forced to reconcile itself with an identity twice fractured by war.
Emerging from this milieu was a group of photographers pushing the boundaries of their medium.
The avant-garde in 1920s Prague, the surrealists in Paris and exponents of the Neues Sehen(New Vision) across Germany transformed photography into an uncanny art form blurring the real and the surreal. Buoyed by newer, smaller cameras and the emergence of roll film, these movements threw off the shackles of the painterly Pictorialist style dominant at the turn of the century, and sought out fresh perspectives.
Nearly 100 years since these photographers first rose to prominence, their legacy is one worth exploring.
