Lucia Moholy: EXPOSURES EN

Skladem (>5 pcs)


A prolific photographer, portraitist, documentalist, and writer, Lucia Moholy (1894–1989) defies categorization. She was as active in avant-garde circles as she was in the field of information science, advancing an expansive understanding of visual reproduction. Where previous publications on Moholy have limited her accomplishments to the five years she spent at the Bauhaus, Lucia Moholy: Exposures presents the full breadth of her writings and photographs for the first time. Extensive essays, drawing on new archival discoveries, reveal her early life in turn-of-the-century Prague; her involvement in the radical social movements of the 1920s in Weimar Germany; her emigration to London, where colleagues and friends included members of the Bloomsbury Set; her wartime involvement with microfilm and scientific documentation; her work in Turkey on behalf of UNESCO; and her reception by a younger generation of artists, including Jan Tichy. Across all of these contexts, the publication exposes how Moholy’s interdisciplinary approach to photography anticipated the medium’s post-analogue present.
