Catalogue Note
Cette nature morte est le fruit d’une commande d’un ami d’Auguste Sander qui dirigeait une quincaillerie à Cologne. L’œuvre était accrochée au mur de l’entreprise depuis les années 1950. Ce tirage, inhabituellement grand, a été monogrammé, ce qui nous renvoie à un style plus ancien et plus fréquent des années 1920. En effet, le parallèle avec les natures mortes industrielles de Albert Renger-Patzsch prend tout son sens. Ici, la composition et le choix des matériaux de Sander reflètent clairement la Nouvelle Objectivité d’entre-deux-guerres. August Sander est également précurseur dans la manière de composer puisque nous retrouvons des influences parmi les natures mortes d'Irving Penn dès les années 1950.
