László Moholy-Nagy was a Hungarian artist who worked in a massive amount of different mediums - including film, typography, sculpture, graphic and stage design, photography, writing and painting.

We wanted to put a little collection of his paintings together for you as a first port of call; apparently it is here in his paintings that his preference for abstract language and the influence of both Dadaism and Constructivism can really be seen in his work.

We love this quote by Paloma Alarcó; ‘Moholy-Nagy firmly believed that art should adapt to the reality of the times and provide a response to new technological breakthroughs; the language of Russian Constructivism was therefore of use to him in achieving his aspirations. “The reality of our century is technology: the invention, construction and maintenance of machines, ” he wrote.’

Enjoy the mini collection, we’ll be back with more from László Moholy-Nagy soon! :)
