Photography in the Third Reich

art, physiognomy and propaganda

by

The volume explores, through photographic reproductions and accompanying analysis, diverse aspects of photography during the Third Reich, ranging from the influence of Modernism, the qualitative effect of propaganda photography, and the utilisation of technology such as colour film, to the photograph as ideological metaphor. With an emphasis on the idealised representation of the German body and the role of physiognomy within this representation, the book examines how selected photographers created and developed a visual myth of the 'master race' and its antitheses under the auspices of the Nationalist Socialist state.
