But those images make up only a portion of this deluxe seven-volume set, which will stand as the definitive collection of Sander's considerable achievement. The books include some 150 never-before-seen images and essays by leading experts on the German photographer's work. Praising Sander's "vision . . . his knowledge, and his immense photographic talent," the writer Alfred Döblin said: "Those who know how to look will learn from his clear and powerful photographs, and will discover more about themselves and more about others." Average Rating:
 Rating: - Timeless photos show an artist's progressionI can't say that I know a whole lot about photography, but I'd heard that August Sander was a pioneer in portrait photographs and so I decided to pick up this set. It's a little on the expensive side and I wish the pictures took up the whole page, but the pages are thick and glossy and the quality of the prints is good. The information in the beginning of the books is sparse--it will tide you over until you research Sander on your own, but it's not definitive by any means. Read More
