Oskar Schlemmer in Ascona 1926

"Oskar Schlemmer in Ascona" is a 1926 photograph by László Moholy-Nagy, capturing the renowned Bauhaus artist Oskar Schlemmer. The image showcases Schlemmer, clad in a light shirt and trousers, leaning against a railing, the intricate lattice casting dramatic shadows across him. The photograph's stark composition and the use of light and shadow highlight Moholy-Nagy's exploration of the interplay between form and light, a key element of his photographic work. This portrait, likely taken during a meeting between the two artists, provides a glimpse into their creative circles and their shared interest in artistic innovation.
