New Vision. Experimental Photography of the 1920s
Description
Here Comes the New Photographer!, by Walter Graeff, was published in conjunction with Stuttgart's influential 1929 "Film und Foto exhibition" and became the handbook for a new breed of artists evolving out of the Constructivist and Bauhaus schools. New Vision photography was based on the idea that modern, urban people see the world in a different way, both figuratively and literally, and was steeped in industrial motifs. This program examines the photographs, photograms, photomontages, and collages created according to precepts set forth in Here Comes the New Photographer! The video covers László Moholy-Nagy, Umbo, El Lissitzky, Alexander Rodchenko, Germaine Krull, Raoul Hausmann, and others, focusing on "The City at Night," "Xanti Schawinsky on a Bauhaus Balcony," "The Uncanny Street," "Girl with a Leica," and "Metropolis.
