Signs of German Social History 1919-1940: the Effects of Bauhaus Photography on the Third Reich Evrim Kabukçu

"The source of inspiration is an ancient photograph." This book explores whether the techniques developed as results of the experimental photography researches conducted at the Bauhaus School, founded in 1919 in the Weimar Republic, were effective on the industrial product advertising photographs published during the Third Reich by considering the political and economic background. Thus, first the applications of photomontage, use of photograph in typography and the studies conducted to develop new points of view and representation of movement were evaluated and the applications of the mentioned technical innovations in the industrial product advertising photographs were interpreted; and yet continuing, the existence of the mentioned technical innovations created by the photographers of Bauhaus School, in the industrial product advertisements published during the Third Reich, which was reconstructed by the National Socialists, who came to power in 1933, is discussed.
