With stops in Berlin, Hanover, New York, and Los Angeles, this volume provides a vivid impression of photographer and writer Käte Steinitz's life on two continents. Käte Steinitz (1889-1975) is best known today for her collaboration with Kurt Schwitters. This monograph covers her multifaceted activities across her extraordinary six-decade-long career as an artist and writer in avant-garde circles during the Weimar Republic, as well as her experience as an emigrant, art historian, and promoter of modernism in the United States. Influenced by Expressionism, New Objectivity, and New Vision, her work demonstrates a talent for observation and an ability to quickly capture movement and fleeting impressions. This overview of her photography, historical context, and personal development shaped by exile brings exciting new interest to a remarkable artist.
