Thanks for the heads up! One of my early favorite photobooks was by his son, Andreas Feininger. Wish I could check out the Getty show, but I'm outside the States 'til mid-summer.
The Salon article's pretty good, and there's more of the Q&A on the Imprint site.
"And what might graphic designers learn from these photos?
I think it is instructive to consider how Feininger took his interests in the inversion of values and the expressive use of light and dark and translated them through the medium of photography into negatives prints and night photographs. These works reflect the spirit of experimentation and fascination with technology that characterized the Dessau Bauhaus and are among Feininger’s most innovative and successful works within the photographic medium."
