		Sander went on to develop his own classification system, which segregated subjects into seven essential types: the farmer, the skilled tradesman, the woman, classes and professions, the artists, the city and the last people (social misfits and the handicapped).
		Sander was no doubt influenced by 18th century Frenchmen Diderot and d'Alembert who were the first people to catalogue information and create the encyclopedia, which was hailed at the time as "the quintessence of human knowledge" and now as the internet prototype.
		Nevertheless, to Sander is due an enormous gratitude for his effort to represent his neighbors in painstaking exactitude which would record and import an added value to their lives as he crafted new concepts that were hitherto unseen in art making.

	The social mosaic attempted: the photographs of August Sander People of the Twentieth Century: August Sander's ...
		While maintaining its strong agrarian identity, the Sander household evidently valued the technological advances of industrialization, and considered intellectual and artistic pursuits to be a part of its solid, respectable existence; Sander’s early interest in the new medium of photography was supported.
		Because he always used the traditional camera with glass plates and tripod, Sander’s subjects were conscious participants in their portraits, and the photos bespeak a degree of human connection, that “burrowing” into the other that Voronsky spoke of, to the highest degree.
		Although Sander did not die in complete obscurity, People of the Twentieth Century was left unpublished; it has only been on the basis of his outline for the project dating from 1924 that subsequent editors have arranged his outstanding photographs, always with a fair amount of guesswork as to what Sander himself would have intended.

		Haussmann posing in pyjama trousers, beret and monocle with his wife and mistress by his sides invites future generations to smirk disgustedly: they may be quite justifed in doing so, but in delivering itself wholesale to this instant judgement, the image jealously conceals all nuances of the subjects' endured experience.
		This paradoxical modesty sets Sander's grandiose project as far apart from Nazi science as from current Personality theory, for both of which the Spirit is transparent and infinitely treatable.
