Marianne Breslauer (1909-2001) was a photographer and photojournalist most famous for capturing the exhilaration of the Neue Frau during the Weimar Republic. Her street photography reflects an interest in dynamic motion, though she is most famous for her portraits and group photographs. Her photographic catalog prompts discussions on the dialectic between being an object and subject (erotic, artistic, or otherwise), the position of women in Weimar culture and society, and the relationships between female identity and visuality.
