When the school moved to Dessau, Moholy-Nagy and Walter Gropius began a fruitful collaboration as joint publishers of the \u003ci\u003eBauhausbücher\u003c\/i\u003e series. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn addition to designing and editing the \u003ci\u003eBauhausbücher\u003c\/i\u003e, Moholy-Nagy produced a title of his own: the legendary \u003ci\u003ePainting, Photography, Film\u003c\/i\u003e. In this book, Moholy-Nagy's efforts to have photography and filmmaking recognized as art forms on the same level as painting are propounded and explained at length. The artist makes the case for a radical rethinking of the visual arts and the further development of photographic design to keep pace with a radically changing technological modernity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlongside theoretical and technical approaches and forays into the nature of the medium, Moholy-Nagy uses an extensive appendix of illustrations to provide a thorough survey of the numerous possibilities that photography and film could offer--from press photography and scientific imagery to Moholy-Nagy's own abstract photograms and New Vision photographs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis English translation of \u003ci\u003ePainting, Photography, Film\u003c\/i\u003e is based in content and design on the 1925 German first edition, making the latter available to an international readership for the first time. The publication includes a brief scholarly text providing crucial contextual information and reflecting on the history and legacy of Moholy-Nagy's book.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lars Muller Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50367417057554,"sku":"9783037785874","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_68b581c7-27a3-4e6e-9de8-a3cc9b24381c.jpg?v=1728492231","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/laszlo-moholy-nagy-painting-photography-film-bauhausbucher-8","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
