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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46623128551634,"sku":"9783037785874","price":62.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_49bc72f2-92a6-42a7-a7d7-6d6a8da2585e.jpg?v=1763225193","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/l-szl-moholy-nagy-painting-photography-film","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
