Lucia Moholy, née Schulz, studied art history at Prague University and worked in publishing before meeting László Moholy-Nagy in 1920 and becoming interested in photography. They married the following year and began collaborating on writings on photography and art theory. After the couple moved to Weimar, Germany, where Moholy-Nagy had accepted a teaching position at the newly opened Bauhaus school, Moholy learned photography. She became an apprentice photographer and made images of Bauhaus architecture, portraits of the faculty and their friends, and did darkroom work for her husband. In 1929 Moholy exhibited her work in the *Film und Foto* exhibition at Stuttgart. She also separated from Moholy-Nagy and accepted a teaching position in Berlin. In 1933 she moved to London, where she continued to teach and pursue photography and writing. In 1939 she wrote a centennial history of photography that sold forty thousand copies, and became a British citizen the following year. Moholy moved to Switzerland in 1959, where she reconstructed her old archive of Bauhaus photographs.
