The career path of Umbo, one of the most influential
photo journalists of the Weimarer Republik (Ger-
man Republic from 1918–1933)—besides Erich Sal-
omon and Felix H. Man—did not progress in a
straight line. Even his stay at the Bauhaus in Weimar
from 1921–1923 wasunexpectedly shortened. Umbo
took general courses ‘‘Vorkurs’’ from Johannes Itten
in1921and1922.Thereafterheswitchedtothemetal
workshop, but was already expelled from further
studies in December 1922, on the official grounds
of ‘‘a lack of interest.’’ Umbo entered photography
as a self-taught person. His work for films and his
designs for billboards probably played a key roll in
the development of his photographic style, and
included concrete contracts such as his work with
Sasha Stone on the completion of photo montagesUMBO (OTTO UMBEHR)
