About Germaine Krull (1897–1985) was a German-Dutch photographer and ranks among the most important representatives of the photographic avant-garde of the 20th century. As a pioneer of the New Vision, she shaped modern photography of the 1920s and 1930s. Her versatile body of work includes portrait, nude, architecture, industrial and street photography as well as experimental photomontage and photojournalism. After stints in Munich, Berlin and Amsterdam Krull settled in Paris in 1926, where she worked within the circle of the artistic avant-garde around Man Ray, André Kertész and Sonia Delaunay. With her groundbreaking photobook Métal (1928), which shows industrial architecture, machines and steel constructions from unusual perspectives, she wrote photography history. Characteristic of her black-and-white photographs are dynamic compositions, extreme viewpoints and an innovative use of light. Germaine Krull's works are today regarded as milestones of classical modernism and experimental photographic art. Her photographs are represented in major international museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
