[Collaboration. Josef Tokayer visits T. Lux Feininger in Paris; while using TLF's plate camera the colleagues arrange for several portraits, Tokayer presses the trigger and TLF presumably does the work in the dark room.]

TLF: "Lux Feininger ("Theodore Lux") ... 1933 in Paris in Theodore's [Spicer Simson] studio which I leased from him. The address was 3, rue Campagne Première." [203]

TLF: "In this period I also received, into the small bedroom my brother had vacated, the fugitive Tokayer, an old pal of Bauhaus Band times, when he had been the last blower of the saxophone." [205]
