This exhibition is open from October 29- November 16 in the Hatton Gallery located in the visual arts building on the Colorado State University campus. The exhibition is free and open to the public. It features two photographic portfolios that illustrate the extraordinary modernist experimentation with photographic media that took place in the early 20th century.
Photography at the Bauhaus includes a selection of images made during the years 1919-1933 by twenty Bauhaus faculty members and students, illustrating the unconventional and experimental use of the medium characteristic of Bauhaus artistic practice. Photography at the Bauhaus was part of a broader, international phenomenon, often described as "New Vision", also seen in Holland, Czechoslovakia and Russia.
The work of Russian artist Georgi Zelma (1906-1984) comprises the second portfolio and includes twenty-nine images created between 1929 and 1937 that combine avant-garde formalist devices with politically conforming content. Zelma's signature titled modernist camera angle is seen in his views of the Soviet Union in Moscow and in images of his native Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
