When viewed in sequence, the individual photographs combine to form a kind of cinematic \u201cdance of naked metals,\u201d transforming the gigantic metal constructions into monuments to a modern era. At a time when the adoration of technology had taken on almost religious proportions, the French press celebrated the photobook as the photographic embodiment of the \u201cesprit moderne\u201d. It was this publication that most likely prompted Walter Benjamin to mention Germaine Krull in his essay \u201cA Short History of Photography\u201d (1931) in the same breath as prominent photographers August Sander and Karl Blossfeldt \u2013 and thus immortalize her in art history, at least as a footnote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-quote\"  style=\"--color-base: #00eab3;\">\n\t<figure>\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-11 col-md-10\" > <!--data-motion-text='{\"child\":\"blockquote\"}'-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"zeplin-quote stagger-item\">\u201cHer most famous work is an absolutely iconic example of radical modernist photography.

She practised street photography, developed her nude photography, and honed her no-nonsense style which would later, after a stint in Amsterdam and her marriage to documentarian Joris Ivens, help her gain recognition in Paris. There she earned her livelihood with fashion photography work arranged by her friend Sonia Delaunay. But not unlike Lee Miller, the fashion genre made Krull miserable. So she took her work to the streets, as did her colleagues Marianne Breslauer, Gis\u00e8le Freund, Ilse Bing and Ellen Auerbach. In this new context, machines proved to be her motif of choice. She sought out unusual details, made use of backlight and celebrated the \u201cdarling of <i>Nouvelle Vision<\/i>\u201d: the diagonal shot. Her photographic impressions of technology were met with unexpected excitement in Paris. Together with the likes of Man Ray and Andr\u00e9 Kert\u00e9sz, Germaine Krull was seen as being at the pinnacle of modern photography, celebrated as a machine photographer and, according to Eug\u00e9ne Merle, an \u201cIron Valkyrie\u201d.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The multi-talented Jean Cocteau was very taken with her photographic talent and wrote in 1930 that she was like a \u201cmirror that transformed the image of the world.\u201d Germaine Krull rose to become a sought-after commercial and portrait photographer and developed her own unique visual language. With her slanted perspective and use of cropping, she made her mark on <i>Nouvelle Vision<\/i> photography, used most notably by Bauhaus photographers to push the boundaries of stylistic structures. Peugeot, Citro\u00ebn and a Paris electric plant commissioned her with works. Important international exhibitions followed, like the <i>Photographie der Gegenwart<\/i> (Contemporary Photography) in Essen or the Werkverbund travelling exhibition <i>Film und Foto<\/i>, both in 1929.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image block-standard-image-medium\"  data-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"masking\":true,\"breakpoint\":{\"tablet\":true,\"desktop\":true},\"full\":{\"y\":[-15,15]}}'> <!-- data-motion-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"tween\":{\"yPercent\": [-15,15]}}' -->\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-10 col-md-9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<lazy-media-inline inline-template>\n\t\t\t<figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" id=\"media_663481b631b72\">\n\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/json\" ref=\"data\">\n\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-7_153_2018-1-212x300.jpg\",\"width\":212,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-7_153_2018-1-724x1024.jpg\",\"width\":724,\"height\":1024,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-7_153_2018-1-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-7_153_2018-1-768x1087.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":1087,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-7_153_2018-1-1085x1536.jpg\",\"width\":1085,\"height\":1536,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-7_153_2018-1-311x440.jpg\",\"width\":311,\"height\":440,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-7_153_2018-1-410x580.jpg\",\"width\":410,\"height\":580,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-7_153_2018-1-509x720.jpg\",\"width\":509,\"height\":720,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-7_153_2018-1-904x1280.jpg\",\"width\":904,\"height\":1280,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-7_153_2018-1.jpg\",\"width\":1252,\"height\":1772}},\n\t\t\t\t\"alt\" : \"\",\n\t\t\t\t\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/06\\\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"video\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"autoplay\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtube\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtubelabel\" : \"Trailer abspielen\",\n\t\t\t\t\"brightness\" : 100,\n\t\t\t\t\"crop\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"background\" : false,\n\t\t\t\t\"scale\" : 1\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t<\/script>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"height-container\" style=\"padding-bottom:141.53354632588%; \" v-if=\"sizes\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<lazy-media :inline=\"true\" :alt=\"alt\" :sizes=\"sizes\" :scale=\"scale\" :brightness=\"brightness\" :path=\"path\" :video=\"video\" :autoplay=\"autoplay\" :youtube=\"youtube\" :crop=\"crop\" :youtubelabel=\"youtubelabel\" :background=\"background\"><\/lazy-media>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Germaine Krull, Portraitfotografie 1925-30<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Courtesy Museum Folkwang Essen\/ARTOTHEK <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/lazy-media-inline>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t<section class=\"block block-headline margin-bottom-third\" >\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-3 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class='stagger-item'>Multi-talented<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-copy  copy-small bg-no \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-3 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"copy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">During her Paris years, she often worked for<i> VU<\/i> magazine, published photobooks, experimented with multiple exposures and collage-like work. She captured the Paris underworld, landscapes, took portraits of Andr\u00e9 Malraux, Jean Cocteau, and Sergei Eisenstein. Her work was a combination of \u201coffensive\u201d nudes, fashion, advertising and portrait photography, social photography, and avant-garde portraits of technology. All her work was characterized by her new way of seeing, a<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>unique visual language that she later rediscovered while documenting the Battle of Alsace on behalf of the French armed forces under General de Gaulle. In 1946 she travelled to Indochina as one of the first war correspondents. She led a turbulent life on several continents, and not just as a photographer: Krull ran a hotel in Bangkok for nearly twenty years and lived in a temple in northern India as a follower of the Dalai Lama. Nearly forgotten, she died in Hessen in 1985.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image block-standard-image-medium\"  data-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"masking\":true,\"breakpoint\":{\"tablet\":true,\"desktop\":true},\"full\":{\"y\":[-15,15]}}'> <!-- data-motion-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"tween\":{\"yPercent\": [-15,15]}}' -->\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-10 col-md-9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<lazy-media-inline inline-template>\n\t\t\t<figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" id=\"media_663481b63232f\">\n\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/json\" ref=\"data\">\n\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-147_699_95-1-212x300.jpg\",\"width\":212,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-147_699_95-1-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-147_699_95-1-310x440.jpg\",\"width\":310,\"height\":440,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-147_699_95-1-409x580.jpg\",\"width\":409,\"height\":580,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-147_699_95-1-508x720.jpg\",\"width\":508,\"height\":720,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Germaine-Krull_Folkwang-147_699_95-1.jpg\",\"width\":625,\"height\":886}},\n\t\t\t\t\"alt\" : \"\",\n\t\t\t\t\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/06\\\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"video\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"autoplay\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtube\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtubelabel\" : \"Trailer abspielen\",\n\t\t\t\t\"brightness\" : 100,\n\t\t\t\t\"crop\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"background\" : false,\n\t\t\t\t\"scale\" : 1\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t<\/script>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"height-container\" style=\"padding-bottom:141.76%; \" v-if=\"sizes\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<lazy-media :inline=\"true\" :alt=\"alt\" :sizes=\"sizes\" :scale=\"scale\" :brightness=\"brightness\" :path=\"path\" :video=\"video\" :autoplay=\"autoplay\" :youtube=\"youtube\" :crop=\"crop\" :youtubelabel=\"youtubelabel\" :background=\"background\"><\/lazy-media>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Germaine Krull, Kamerun 1943<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Courtesy Museum Folkwang Essen\/ARTOTHEK <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/lazy-media-inline>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-copy  copy-small bg-no \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-3 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"copy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">Walter Benjamin\u2019s reference to the avant-garde photographer caught the attention of the art collector couple Anna and J\u00fcrgen Wilde. With the diligence of detectives, they tracked down Germaine Krull&#8217;s work in the 1970s, thus saving it from oblivion. It was their personal dedication that paved the way for the photographer to be rediscovered. Today, the extensive collection of the Ann and J\u00fcrgen Wilde Foundation is housed in the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.
