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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e László Moholy-Nagy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303778587X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037785874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars Muller Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.20w x 0.50d","brand":"László Moholy-Nagy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989615804671,"sku":"9783037785874","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9b8c6aa-bd46-4643-906c-3cbd0694eaa3.jpg?v=1683300515","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/l-szl-moholy-nagy-l-szl-moholy-nagy-9783037785874","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
