Abstract
This essay explores four scrapbooks produced by the German photographer Albert Renger-Patzsch between 1927 and 1936 that are now part of the Getty Research Institute special collections. The scrapbooks provide an archival record of Renger’s prolific career as a commercial photographer and main proponent of the Neue Sachlichkeit (New objectivity) style. This essay argues that these scrapbooks are more than a professional archive and should be considered part of Renger-Patzsch’s photographic work. Demonstrating an interest in montage and the discursive nature of photographic meaning, these objects challenge conceptions of Neue Sachlichkeit as devoted exclusively to the transparency and clarity of visual form.
