Description
with a socially critical eye and Berlin humor, the prints by Heinrich Zille (1858 – 1929) capture the milieu of the “little people” around 1900. The fact that the famous artist was also a passionate photographer was only discovered decades after his death. Unlike the city photographers of his time, Zille was not interested in Berlin’s glamorous side. His photographs show the everyday lives of the residents. Zille’s photographs of everyday life appear extremely spontaneous and lively. Many of his motifs anticipate so-called street photography, which reached its first peak in the 1930s with snapshot-like street scenes. However, Zille’s photographs remained hidden for a long time. He did not publish a single picture during his lifetime. This work is from a portfolio of Edition griffelkunst called “Aktstudien” and was printed from the original negative in 1999. The size of the work itself is 22.6 x 17.7 cm, the size of the print is 30.1 x 24 cm.
