Franz Roh & Jan Tschichold - Foto-Auge, Oeil et Photo, Photo-Eye, Akadem. Verlag Dr. Fr. Wedekind & Co, 1929, Stuttgart

 

Softcover, original photographically illustrated wrappers, Japanese-bound. Design of book cover and typographic arrangement by Jan Tschichold. Photo on the cover by El Lissitzky (self-portrait). Parallel texts in German, French and English. Subtitle: "76 Fotos der Zeit. 76 photographies de notre temps. 76 photoes of the period". With photographs by Piet Zwart, John Heartfield, El Lissitzky, Eugène Atget, Andreas Feininger, Max Ernst, Herbert Bayer, Willi Baumeister, George Grosz, Gutschow, Florence Henri, Hannah Höch, Hans Leistikow, Max Burchartz, László Moholy-Nagy, Walter Peterhans, Man Ray, Albert Renger-Patzsch, Geert Paul, Hendrikus Schuitema, Maurice Tabard, Karel Teige, Grete Vester, Dsiga Wertoff, Edward Weston, Umbo and many others. Introduction by Franz Roh ("Mechanismus und Ausdruck. Wesen und Wert der Fotographie").

"Two books were published to accompany the 1929 "Film und Foto" exhibition in Stuttgart organized by the Deutscher Werkbund -- Foto-Auge, edited by Franz Roh and Jan Tschichold, and "Es kommt der neue Fotograf!", edited by Werner Gräff. With its cover of El Lissitzky's now famous "Self Portrait" of the artist as a hand in service to the eye celebrating the monocular medium (photography), Foto-Auge served both as an catalog of the work exhibited as well as a visual polemic detailing Laszlo Moholy-Nagy's New Vision. Featuring work from the world's leading modernist photographers, as well as anonymous news and bureau photos, Roh's and Tschichold's editing and sequencing energetically riff on the Bauhausian notion of enlightened objectivity"
