The fecundity of the photographic medium between the first and second world wars can be attributed to the circulation of people, of ideas, of images, and of objects that was a hallmark of that era in Europe and the United States. Voluntary and involuntary migration, publications distributed and read on both sides of the Atlantic, and exhibitions that brought artistic achievements into dialogue with one another all contributed to a period of innovation that was a creative peak both in the history of photography and in the field of arts and letters. The Thomas Walther Collection at The Museum of Modern Art captures the spirit of this moment.
