From Bauhaus To Buenos Aires
Following the close of the Bauhaus and amid the rising threat of
the Nazi powers in 1933, Stern and Coppola fled Germany. Stern
arrived first in London, where her friends included activists
affiliated with leftist circles and where she made her now iconic
portraits of German exiles, including those of Bertolt Brecht and
Karl Korsch. After traveling through Europe, camera in hand,
Coppola joined Stern in London, where he pursued a modernist
idiom in his photographs of the fabric of the city, tinged
alternately with social concern and surrealist strangeness.
