Beschreibung
A modernist gelatin silver print by Josef Albers, featuring a dual-portrait study of the Russian avant-garde artist El Lissitzky at the Bauhaus in Dessau.
This gelatin silver print by Josef Albers captures the Russian avant-garde artist El Lissitzky during his time at the Bauhaus in Dessau. Albers, who taught at the school from 1923 until its closure in 1933, utilised photography as a tool for documentation and formal experimentation. The composition features two distinct views of Lissitzky, presented as a montage on a single sheet. The larger image on the left provides a direct, frontal portrait, while the smaller inset on the right shows Lissitzky in profile, engaged in conversation.
Albers employed a clean, objective approach to the subject. The stark white shirts and dark ties worn by the subject reflect the modernist aesthetic prevalent within the Bauhaus community. By placing the two images against a neutral background, Albers focuses the viewer on the geometry of the face and the interplay of light and shadow. This work demonstrates the interest in seriality and the manipulation of photographic space that characterised the Bauhaus approach to the medium. It serves as a record of the intellectual exchange between two figures who shaped the development of twentieth-century design and visual theory. The print remains a document of the collaborative environment in Dessau, where artists from across Europe gathered to redefine the relationship between art, technology, and daily life. The clarity of the composition and the precise cropping are characteristic of Albers's disciplined approach to visual organisation, which he would later apply to his extensive series of paintings and prints.

Artist Biography
Josef Albers
Albers arrived at Black Mountain College in November 1933, unable to speak English. His wife Anni spoke on his behalf; she was fluent. They had fled Germany weeks earlier. Under the Nuremberg Laws, Anni, who was Jewish, was at risk. The Bauhaus had been forced to close. Philip Johnson, then a curator at MoMA, had arranged the position.
He was born in 1888 in Bottrop, Westphalia, into a Roman Catholic craftsman's family. He worked as a schoolteacher for five years before deciding to study art, joining the Bauhaus as a student in 1920 and becoming a faculty member by 1922. He married Anni Fleischmann, a Bauhaus textile student, in 1925.
At Black Mountain, his students included Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, Ruth Asawa, and Ray Johnson. He left in 1950 to head the Department of Design at Yale, where he taught until retirement in 1958. The teaching produced Interaction of Color (1963), a text arguing that colour can only be understood in context, never in isolation. It remains a standard reference.
The Homage to the Square series occupied the rest of his life: nested squares of colour, painted obsessively, with every pigment and proportion meticulously recorded. The paintings look simple. The colour relationships within them are not. He died in 1976.
