Double Self-portrait
attributed to Theo van Doesburg, 1921
The celebrated photographer Lucia Moholy was thought to have made this double portrait as a preliminary study for later profile portraits. The date on the page and further investigation proved otherwise, however. It was ‘a snapshot taken in the sun’ by the artist couple themselves before they had even met Lucia: a Bauhaus photograph avant-la-lettre.
