Samenvatting
We cite from the COVER:
"Laszló Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) was one of the most ardent seekers of the 'New Vision' among the early twentieth-century avant-gardists. His ongoing preoccupation with the phenomenon of light defined all periods of his artistic creativity, and his strength lay in his effortless skill in translating light and spatial dimensions from one medium to another. In the early 1930s the first color processings became marketable. After he had mastered the different fields of black/white photography, it was only to be expected that Moholy would focus his creative energy on the next big issue among photographers: color photography. Not only in his Dutch and English emigration years, but also at the New Bauhaus and the Institute of Design in Chicago, for Moholy, the Hungarian Bauhaus master from Germany, color photography proved to be one of his most important media of artistic production. But until now, with a few exceptions, his work in the field of color photography has been unknown, which is most surprising."
"This volume will close this gap by presenting 100 works —advertisements, portraits, urban views, New Bauhaus studies, and abstract compositions—from the early days of Moholy's experimentation with color in 1934 until his death in 1946."
