Life
After training as a photographer at Fotohaus Preim in Aachen and studying with Otto Steinert , Dirk Reinartz was hired in 1970 as the youngest reportage photographer in the Stern editorial team . He later worked for the news magazine Der Spiegel as well as for Die Zeit , GEO and Life .
As a member of the photo agency Visum from 1977, the subjects of his reports were primarily of a documentary nature with a clear political reference to Germany and its history . According to his own statement, he never wanted to work with a raised index finger and developed his own artistic visual language for this.
He was charged with a series about famous Bismarck - monuments and the impressive cycle "dead silent" (1994) on former concentration camp . Reinartz recently taught photography at the Muthesius Kunsthochschule Kiel . His collaboration with the American sculptor Richard Serra , whose work he followed with the camera for over two decades, is also remarkable . He lived in Buxtehude and died at the age of 56 in Berlin , the site of one of his last major exhibitions. The Suermondt Ludwig Museum Aachen showed an exhibition with around 150 photographs from his oeuvre until February 6, 2011.
