The museum refreshed the project by placing it in dialogue with the work of his contemporaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTypomania and the Cross-Sectional View\u003c\/i\u003e picks up where the Pompidou exhibition left off, offering the latest research on Sander's decades-long endeavor to visually record his native country's populace. The text-focused volume reiterates that the photographer was not alone in his obsessive examination of German society and its typologies. Portraits by Otto Dix, silhouette prints by Gerd Arntz and silent movie film stills are emblematic of an era in which the representative social samples identified by Sanders permeated art as well as popular culture. Buoyed by an extensive bibliography, \u003ci\u003eTypomania and the Cross-Sectional View\u003c\/i\u003e is a true August Sander visual reader for the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Florian Ebner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3959057644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783959057646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spector Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Florian Ebner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451159433471,"sku":"9783959057646","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea12b22b-bc7c-46d7-8e38-57f460b716a7.jpg?v=1735876632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/typomania-and-the-cross-sectional-view-florian-ebner-9783959057646","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
