In the exhibition 'Hans Robertson Die Berliner Jahre. Fotografien 1926-1933' ['Hans Robertson the Berlin Years: Photographs 1927-1933', the Third European Month of Photography in Berlin is once again showcasing the work of an important Berlin artist of the Weimar Republic. Born in Hamburg in 1883, Robertson took over the Atelier Lili Baruch on the Kurfürstendamm in 1927, going on to become one of the most famous portrait photographers of the city known above all for his portraits of writers, artists and politicians like Käthe Kollwitz, Heinrich Mann and Gustav Stresemann. He achieved particular prominence with his pictures of modern dancers like Harald Kreutzberg, Vera Skoronel and Mary Wigman. Being Jewish, when the Nazis came to power he was compelled to emigrate, living first of all in Copenhagen, then fleeing to Stockholm in 1943. In 1945 he returned to Denmark, remaining there till his death in 1950. For this exhibition a selection has been made from his photographic legacy at the Royal Library of Copenhagen, comprising his most important pictures from the pre-Hitler years, and including some photographs of Berlin that have only recently been discovered.
