In 1935, Kodak marketed the first color transparency film for still photography and cinematography, which was known as Kodachrome. The product was largely used by professionals, especially those making images intended for the print media.

Moholy, an avant-garde artist, photographer, and educator, had emigrated to the U.S. in 1937, when he became director of the New Bauhaus, in Chicago. A modernist figure known for moving fluidly between high and low, fine and applied art, his work demonstrated the interrelatedness of life, art, and technology.
