A direct, unadorned, media-friendly visual style, combined with a clear commitment to technical modernism, was called for. In Germany, Ellen Auerbach, Aenne Biermann, Karl Blossfeldt, Alfred Ehrhardt, Albert Renger-Patzsch and August Sander had committed themselves to \u2018New Objectivity photography\u2019, which reached its peak with the \u2018Film und Foto\u2019 exhibition organised by the Deutscher Werkbund in 1929. The exhibition\u2019s call for a contemporary visual language \u2013 shown in Vienna immediately after its run in Stuttgart \u2013 left its mark not least on the work of Austrian artists such as Trude Fleischmann, Grete Kolliner and Rudolf Koppitz. Organised around key motifs and thematic clusters, the exhibition presents over a hundred outstanding artistic works from the New Photography movement of the 1920s and 1930s, bringing together pieces from renowned European museums, institutions and collections, including works from private collections that have never before been exhibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NEW.
