Toni Schneiders’s artistic output was notably driven by his wanderlust. In the 1960s he was, for instance, active in Croatia and Serbia, where he mingled with the people and deliberately relied on his ‘subjective’ sense of situations, contrasts and light effects.

The vintage print is in very good condition considering its age. There are tiny retouched spots in the upper half of the background due to irregularities within the negative. The image size is 30 x 22.5 cm, the paper size is 30 x 24 cm.



Toni Schneiders (1920-2006)

In 1939 Toni Schneiders finished his apprenticeship as a photographer. During World War II he worked in the photocopying service of the army and from 1942 he was a war correspondent in France and Italy. Here he created, for instance, impressive shots of Mussolini’s liberation on the mountain massif of Gran Sasso. After the war Schneiders returned to Germany and created photo essays, advertising and travel photographs. He opened a photo studio and worked as a freelance photojournalist. In 1949 he co-founded the avant-garde group ‘fotoform’ together with Otto Steinert, Peter Keetman, Siegfried Lauterwasser, Wolfgang Reisewitz und Ludwig Windstoßer. From the 1950s onwards he undertook extensive travels to Southern Europe, Scandinavia, Ethiopia, North Africa, Japan and Southeast Asia. In 1999 Toni Schneiders was awarded the ‘Kulturpreis der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Photographie‘ along with Lauterwasser and Reisewitz. (cbo)
