Renger-Patzsch shared Sudek's modernist approach to architectural and everyday subjects, using gelatin silver prints to reveal poetic geometry and precise tonal qualities in built environments during the same early 20th century period.
Eugene Atget
French · b. 1857
Atget similarly documented architectural details and quiet urban spaces with a contemplative and poetic sensibility, creating silver print photographs that transform ordinary structures into meditative visual experiences.

Moholy-Nagy worked within the same Czech and Central European modernist photography movement, exploring architectural forms and light through gelatin silver prints with a similarly experimental and lyrical aesthetic sensibility.
