The Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung is presenting a comprehensive survey of female Bauhaus photographers at the Museum für Fotografie in Berlin. The exhibition highlights how these artists utilized avant-garde techniques and unconventional perspectives to document a rapidly changing world, featuring works that span from the innovative interwar period to the post-war era, such as Elsa Thiemann’s 1950s captures of the Wannsee lido.
This showcase is significant for its focus on the often-overshadowed female contributors to the Bauhaus movement, demonstrating their enduring influence on visual language. By tracing their stylistic development through the mid-20th century, the exhibition underscores how the 'New Vision' established at the Bauhaus continued to shape photography and modern aesthetics long after the school's closure.
