Coal miners in Germany and the Netherlands: similarities and differences -- Frits Gierstberg, Biographies. -- Until the 1960s, coal dominated life in Germany and the Netherlands in a way that the next generation could hardly imagine. Coal was everywhere: below ground, on waterways, in the air, in the home - and also, of course, in photography. Few subjects lend themselves so convincingly to the photographic medium as the lives of miners, mountains of coal, and its transport. Black Smoke shows the wealth of visual virtuosity that the coal mines in Germany and the Netherlands have inspired. The unique, sometimes bizarre yet sometimes sublime beauty that this subject presents in terms of photography is manifest in the work of photographers such as Nico Jesse, Chargesheimer, Fritz Fenzl, Frits Rotgans, Cas Oorthuys, Dolf Toussaint and Albert Renger-Patzsch.
