From Bauhaus to Buenos Aires: Grete Stern and Horacio Coppola

Grete Stern's "Sueño No. 1: Electrical Appliances for the Home" (1949) is reproduced from MoMA's enlightening From Bauhaus to Buenos Aires: Grete Stern and Horacio Coppola, the catalogue to the first American museum exhibition ever devoted to this pioneering couple, who introduced photomontage and other revolutionary techniques to Latin America. Essayist Roxana Marconi writes, "Investing her work with psychoanalytic feminism, Stern succeeded in representing a new postwar feminine type: a figure struggling to tweak authority and free herself from the ideology of marriage, the dynamics of sexual machismo and the burdens of motherhood. In one forward-thinking photomontage after another, she examines women's dreams with urgency and surreal wit. Her Bauhaus background in typography, design, and advertising culture met the Borgesian sensibility of narrativity and the rupture of her adopted country."
