Czech Republic (1894—1989)After studying philosophy, philology and art history at the University of Prague, Lucia Moholy began her career in publishing.

This body of work was entrusted to Gropius, who never fully returned it. Together they experimented with photograms and other photographic techniques, continuing their work at the Bauhaus in Dessau. After their separation, she took over Otto Umbehr’s position at Itten’s school in Berlin. She later travelled to Paris and London before settling in Switzerland.
