Angler auf der Brücke (Anglers on the Bridge) c. 1930

"Angler auf der Brücke" (Anglers on the Bridge), a 1930 photograph by Else Thalemann, captures the everyday scene of two anglers fishing from a bridge. The stark black and white composition, typical of Thalemann's work, highlights the contrast between the figures and the concrete bridge, while the numbered markings add a sense of urban context. The photograph is a compelling example of the New Objectivity movement, which emphasized realism and observation in art. The image's simplicity and unassuming subject matter underscore the everyday nature of Thalemann's photography.
