Very instructive timeline, Jennifer – thanks for sharing. I wasn’t aware Moholy-Nagy worked with dolls (I would have thought that photo was Hans Bellmer’s, too). And I also like Levinthal a lot – you chose a great picture here, too.
Thank you so much! Gonna do a post on Maholy-Nagy soon. He didn’t do a lot of work with toys based on my current knowledge, but I’ll accept any dabbling :)
I have always been a fan of Moholy-Nagy, his vision always atracted me. I do not know many of the others you mention, I’ll make a research. it’s always an interesting theme, thanks for the suggestions.
I’m looking forward to continuing my research on Maholy-Nagy and getting a post up soon! Enjoy you’re research. They’re all very interesting in my book.
