Publisher's Synopsis
In the 1920s and 1930s, photography became an immense phenomenon across Central Europe. This book presents the work of approximately one hundred individuals whose creations exemplify the potential of photography in the region between the two World Wars, bringing together for the first time works by recognized masters such as El Lissitzky, László Moholy-Nagy, and Hannah Höch with such lesser-known but nonetheless important practitioners as Karel Teige and Jaromír Funke, Kazimierz Podsadecki, Károly Escher and Trude Fleischmann.
