Moholy-Nagy

Krisztina Passuth

4.7/5 ( ratings)

Laszlo Moholy-Nagy was one of the most versatile artists of the twentieth century; but unlike those polymaths whose activities are practiced at the expense of profundity, he made highly significant contributions to the visual arts in everything he did. He was the dominant theoretician of the Bauhaus during its most prosperous era; his Constructivist/Suprematist paintings are among the finest achievements in European art of the twenties; he was a pioneer in kinetic sculpture; and his photographs, photograms and photoplastics led the way in exploring the full potential of photo reproduction. And even these were not the limit of his interests, for he also made films, designed scenery and costumes, and excelled in commercial graphics and exhibition design.
