51123Later print; 21.25 à 16 cm. Very good. Photography was not offered as a course of study at the founding of Bauhaus and the school acquired its first camera only in 1925 to document important events. The first photography classes were taught at the school starting in 1929 when Hannes Meyer then director of Bauhaus hired Walter Peterhans to lead a photography course for advertising and journalism. Despite photography's absence from the curriculum in 1927 László Moholy-Nagy published his famous Painting Photography Film where he showcased his own photographs influencing young photographers such as T. Lux Feininger and Lotte Beese. In the same year Walter Gropius commissioned Erich Consemuller to photograph the activities of the school resulting in an archive of 300 photographs of the Bauhaus scene. Heinz Loew developed as a photographer in the advertising and typography department. His photographs were first exhibited at the "Film and Foto" exhibit in Stuttgart in 1930.<br/><br/>Not in Eugene J. Prakapas Bauhaus Photography 1982 where he notes: "most of these photographs have never been published or have not been published since the time they were made" p. xi. unknown books

017895Munich 1927: Albert Langen. Octavo. Second edition. Inscribed by Moholy-Nagy to Galka Scheyer; fürfrau Scheyer/ Moholy-Nagy soon became known as one of the most important artists of Constructivism. His varied works ranges from painting photography film design and stage design to experiments with photograms which considerably influenced the development of light art and kinetic art. He joined the Bauhaus" in 1923 and contributed heavily to the design and production of the 14-book Bauhausbucher series which documented the school's work and aims. The present copy is #8 of that series. In 1927 the Henry Art Gallery presented its first modern art exhibition presenting The Blue Four. Acquainted through various artist affiliations and the Bauhaus School in Weimar Germany the four artists and most likely Moholy-Nagy were introduced at that time to Galka Scheyer. Galka Scheyer whose continuous efforts to promote the Blue Four which included Lyonel Feininger Wassily Kandinsky Paul Klee and Alexej Jawlensky widened the influence of European modernism in the United States. The Pasadena Art Institute and The Pasadena art museum hold several works by Galka Sheyer and Moholy-Nagy. 140pp. text in German photographic illustrations bound in original wraps with dust jacket printed in red and whitelacking rear panel with flap ends mounted to wrapper but replaced rear panel with facsimile.
