Xanti Schawinsky (1904-1979) was a master of improvisation-in the
field of stage design, as a photographer, and as a creator of
exhibition buildings and large-scale photomontages. While his late
works are quite well known, his early works have remained nearly
undiscovered. New documents from the estate facilitate an
unobstructed view of this protagonist of the Bauhaus Dessau. The
publication focuses on Schawinsky's early work, his position as
head of the graphic design department of the building authority in
Magdeburg starting in 1929, his designs for theater stages in
Zwickau, and the photomontages that he created in cooperation with
Gropius for the German Building Exhibition of 1931 and the
Pennsylvania Pavilion for the World Fair of 1939. These works show
Schawinsky to be an innovative photographer and trailblazer in
modern design.
