Mother in Grief and Joy
In 1922, Sanders set out on his bicycle to sample the surrounding German country side. His goal, to create a portrait of a people. He wanted to portray the “modern” German society and represent them through a sampling of photographic portraits.
Although his goal was 600 photographs, he published a much smaller number in a book in 1929. Unfortunately, the Nazi’s banned his book, raided his studio, burned many of his negatives and turned him into a fugitive. They felt his portrayal did not represent the “master race” they wished to create.
