The Genius of Photography 摄影演义后传- 5 SUW中国英语学习网
In the course of our 170 year relationship, photography has delighted us, served us, moved us, outraged us and occasionally disappointed us. But mainly, it has intrigued us by showing the secret strangeness that lies beneath the world of appearances. And that is photography's true genius. SUW中国英语学习网

“Hahaha, they could well be farm workers who box in their spare time or something. I would never have Sander written off as the dispassionate observer scientist. You can't be, you know. When you prick that, that butterfly with a pin, that is, you know, there's, there's an electric charge there, and it's just the same as when you press that shutter.”SUW中国英语学习网

“He shows you so much about how these people want to be seen, and at the same time, so little about what's actually going on inside their minds, and yet it's full of implications, it's full of hints. There is all the way through Sander's best work, sense of a world that's pregnant with things that cannot be spoken of.”SUW中国英语学习网

The unspoken that lies behind Sander's pictures is the chaotic condition of Germany in the 1920s. The Weimar Republic was a society in meltdown: hyperinflation, mass unemployment, political violence on the streets. All of Sander's subjects would have lived with the consequences of that chaos.SUW中国英语学习网

“Let's find the Notary. Here is this notary who, who stands erect with his dog, in an overcoat. And it seems to me that the overcoat is perhaps the most eloquent thing in the picture, and the, the reason why is that it would once have been an elegant coat, but it's begun to lose its shape, and yet the notary fills it out as if he is an oak tree, he fills it out as if it hasn't changed in any way. And so to me, what this is a photograph of, is a man who attempts to preserve his position, at least for the camera, to say to the photographer, to say whoever is going to see this picture, 'I am no less than I always was, which is a person you should respect.'”SUW中国英语学习网

“One of the Sander photographs I love most is, is this picture of a woman in her late twenties, perhaps early thirties, and her baby and a little black Pomeranian dog sitting in the grass, and the child sits there hopeful and, and quite trusting with his apple there in the hands. And then in the expression of this, the mother is knowledge of something much more, something that she won't tell us about, something she can't tell us about. And, and I sometimes feel, looking at the face of this woman, about whom I know nothing other than, than this, what she shows me on her face, I sometimes feel that this woman is saying, to me, the viewer, that ‘there's nothing you can do to help me.'”SUW中国英语学习网
