About this work
While living in Berlin between 1920 and 1923, Hungarian-born artist László Moholy-Nagy was exposed to avant-garde movements such as Dada, de Stijl and Constructivism, which profoundly shaped his artistic output. This lithograph was created in the same year Moholy-Nagy began teaching at the Bauhaus in Weimar, where he played a pivotal role in transforming the school into a centre for industrial design and production. The work forms part of the Constructions portfolio, an important example of Constructivist printmaking and Moholy-Nagy’s most notable work in the print medium. The composition of floating shapes and intersecting planes relates to Moholy-Nagy’s abstract paintings and his groundbreaking kinetic assemblages of metal and transparent plastic.
