Subjektive Fotografie and the existentialist ethic

""The 'Subjektive Fotografie', whose exhibitions spanned the
years 1951 through 1958, was a theory of camerawork, worked out
by Dr. Otto Steinert, that may be explicated by examining its
theoretical kinship with the Continental philosophies of
phenomenology and existentialism''. This is the introductory
statement of the author. This article cites such authors as Dr.
Karl Pawek, Jean-Paul Sartre, fore-runner Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, L.
Fritz Gruber, Edmund Husserl, J.A.Schmoll. His conclusion: ""An
exploration of the tenets of Subjektive Fotografie permits us to
see more clearly the aesthetic gap between Steinert's
subjectivized images and Sherrie Levine's re-photographed
photographs, reminding us of the gap between modernism then and
postmodernism now''.
