Lucia Moholy (Schulz)
Praga, 18.01.1894 - Zurigo, 17.05.1989
Lucy Schulz was born during the last years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire into a non-practicing Jewish family in the Karlín district of Prague, a German-speaking enclave. She was a photographer and writer, referred to as "the Bauhaus photographer," for documenting between 1924 and 1928 the architecture of the buildings (exterior and interior) at the Weimar and Dessau sites, the design objects made in the school's workshops and their masters and makers, interpreted through the aesthetics of Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity), a current of the German photographic avant-garde. In April 1920 Lucia Shultz, met László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), a young artist who had emigrated from Hungary, with whom she shared pacifist commitment, expressionist aesthetics and activism in the radical left.
