Notes
Bauhausbücher 8. Lang 84; Parr/ Badger p.92: "The book, published in 1925, was immediately successful and highly influential (...). In this theoretical treatise in text and pictures Moholy-Nagy condemns the subjectivity of pictorialism (...), and sets out the framework of what he calls the 'New Vision', featuring his own work and that of others".
