Catalogue Note
Gemalt um 1924.
Die amerikanische Künstlerin und Fotografin Florence Henri setzte sich in ihrem Schaffen mit dem Dadaismus auseinander, der 1916 in Zürich begründet wurde. In Deutschland studierte sie in den 1920er Jahren am Bauhaus in Dessau. In dieser Zeit unterrichteten an der Schule der Schweizer Künstler Paul Klee und der Schweizer Architekt Hannes Meyer; letzterer wurde 1928 zum Direktor ernannt in der Nachfolge von Walter Gropius.
