{"product_id":"66055-lucia-moholy","title":"Lucia Moholy","description":"As a highly active writer, photographer, portraitist, and documentary filmmaker, Lucia Moholy defies categorization. She was active in avant-garde circles as well as in the field of information science, promoting a comprehensive understanding of visual reproduction. While earlier publications on Moholy limited her work to the five years she spent at the Bauhaus, Lucia Moholy: Exposures for the first time presents the full breadth of her writings and photographs. Detailed essays, drawing on new archival findings, provide insights into her early life in fin-de-siècle Prague, her involvement in radical social movements in Germany in the 1920s, her emigration to London, where she collaborated with colleagues and friends, including members of the Bloomsbury Group, as well as her engagement with microfilm and scientific documentation during the war, and her work in Turkey on behalf of UNESCO. The publication acknowledges her reception by contemporary artists such as Jan Tichý and shows how Moholy's interdisciplinary approach to photography anticipates the medium's post-analog present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLUCIA MOHOLY's (1894–1989) photographs, characterized by the aesthetics of New Objectivity, continue to shape the international reception of the Bauhaus. After studying art history and philosophy in her hometown of Prague, she worked as an editor before joining the Bauhaus in 1923 with her husband László Moholy-Nagy. Her bestseller, A Hundred Years of Photography, 1839–1939, was highly influential in the recognition of the medium as an art form. In 1959, she settled in Switzerland, where she worked as an art critic until her death.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49842216141064,"sku":"9783775756327","price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775756327_104e7216-9582-4c36-8e1a-1db073aeee94.jpg?v=1744112475","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/66055-lucia-moholy","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
