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.
