Edmund Kesting
Germany (1892—1970)After studying at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts from 1915, Kesting founded the private school Der Weg – Schule für Gestaltung in 1919, later opening a branch in Berlin. While developing his photographic language through photograms, he experimented with solarisation, multiple exposures and negative montage, establishing close contacts with Schwitters, Moholy-Nagy, El Lissitzky and Archipenko. Following the destruction of Dresden during World War II, he created the photographic series Dresdner Totentanz. In his later years, he continued to explore experimental processes, including chemical painting and other photographic techniques.
