Sander's Children: Figurative Photography in the Tradition of August Sander

Seydou Keita... Fashionable Men (Mali, C. 1955). From the exhibition Sander's Children: Figurative Photography in the Tradition of August Sander at Danziger Projects. "...The exhibition 'Sander's Children' looks at the significant, lasting, and acknowledged influence August Sander has had on many photographers. Most active from the early 1900s through the 1920s, Sander's cool, objective style of portraiture anticipated work ranging from Irving Penn's 'Small Trades' series to Richard Avedon's outdoor portraits and has continued to influence photographers to this day."
