Lyonel Feininger, Bauhaus, 1929. Harvard Art Museums/Busch-Reisinger Museum, © VG Bild-Kunst, BonnBauhaus Experiments in Photography. Although Feininger explored many of the experimental photographic techniques being practiced at the Bauhaus, he remained isolated and out of step with the rest of the school. Working alone and often at night, he created expressive, introspective, otherworldly images that have little in common with the playful student photography more typically associated with the school. Using a Voigtländer Bergheil camera, frequently with a tripod, he photographed the neighborhood around the masters’ houses, the Bauhaus campus, and the Dessau railway station, experimenting with night imagery, reversed tonalities, and severe weather conditions.
