EXPERIMENT - LIFE - POLITICS: Bauhaus Photography X Russian Avant-garde


EXPERIMENT - LIFE - POLITICS: Bauhaus Photography X Russian Avant-garde at Galerie Priska Pasquer in Cologne, Germany. "...photographs from the period between the two world wars, which is regarded as a key development phase for photography. While Bauhaus artists in Germany were using photography primarily in the late 1920s as an experimental field under the catchphrase of the 'New Vision', the medium in Russia evolved to become an expression of political changes and social ideals. The exhibition will feature photographs and photo collages from the years 1919 to 1939 among others by T. Lux Feininger, Grit Kallin-Fischer, Alexander Rodchenko, Gustav Klutsis and Valentina Kulagina."
