Siegfried Kracauer was one of the foremost representatives of the
Frankfurt School of critical theory, and his influence is felt in
the work of many of the period's preeminent thinkers, including
Theodor W. Adorno, who once claimed he owed more to Kracauer than
any other intellectual. The Past's Threshold brings together for
the first time Kracauer's essays on photography that he wrote
between 1927 and 1933 as a journalist for the Frankfurter Zeitung,
as well as an essay that appeared in the Magazine of Art after the
eminent emigre's exile to America. The essays show Kracauer as a
pioneering theorist of photography in addition to his more widely
known work on film. A foreword by Philippe Despoix offers insights
into Kracauer's theories and their historical context. Kracauer.
Photographic Archive collects previously unpublished photography by
Siegfried and Elisabeth, "Lili," Kracauer. While neither Kracauer
nor his wife trained in photography, their portraits, city views,
and landscapes evince impressive skill, while simultaneously
shedding light on the Kracauers' close working relationship, from
their marriage in Germany to their postwar years in the United
States.
