[Max Bill and Edmund Collein at the Bauhaus]

T. Lux Feininger

1929 · Gelatin silver print · Photographs

In this work, Feininger depicts students Max Bill (left) and Edmund Collein clowning on the terrace adjoining the school's canteen. Joining in their antics, Feininger employed a worm's-eye viewpoint and slightly off-kilter angle to create this whimsical photo-caricature of the future architects confidently holding forth below the balconies of the studio wing.
