Zoltán Glass (1903–1982) was a Hungarian-born photographer active in Berlin during the 1920s and 1930s, working across modernist advertising, sport, and figure studies. Although best known for his dynamic industrial and automotive imagery, Glass also produced refined photographs of the human body, treating the nude with the same clarity, structure, and modern visual discipline found in the work of contemporaries such as László Moholy-Nagy, Rudolf Koppitz, and Albert Renger-Patzsch. His photographs reflect the wider world of Bauhaus, Neue Sachlichkeit, and interwar European modernism, combining elegance, formal control, and a distinctly machine-age sense of design. Today, Zoltán Glass is regarded as an important figure in early 20th-century modernist photography, spanning both commercial imagery and the stylised representation of the body.
