TLF: "The Bauhaus tree - a grove of exactly similar trees in the midst of which the residence for director and Masters had been erected. ... Inanimate objects were not my interest in photography, I wanted life, action, faces and figures. ...
Connaisseurs of photography discovered a resemblance between my picture and another by Rodchenko. … I had not seen Rodchenko’s pictures [before]." [205]
