László Moholy-Nagy Retrospective – Principal Works from 1919–46 (Prestel, 2009) is a comprehensive monograph of the Bauhaus master.
A new era dawned at the State Bauhaus in Weimar when Walter Gropius invited the young Hungarian artist László Moholy-Nagy to become a teacher there in 1923. With his radical approach to the aesthetics and concept of painting and sculpture, his versatility and openness to new media and materials, and his experimental photography, Moholy-Nagy-more than any other Bauhaus teacher-shaped our view of the Bauhaus during the 1920s. To mark the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus, the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt, Germany, presents the first comprehensive retrospective of Moholy-Nagy’s oeuvre since 1991. It shows the entire range of Moholy-Nagy’s artistic achievement with over 170 principal works produced from 1919–46 in various media including paintings, pictures on synthetic materials, photographs, photograms, sculptures, films, stage sets and typography.
