László Moholy-Nagy. The Art of Light
June 09, 2011. – September 25, 2011.
László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) is a world-famous figure of twentieth-century avant-garde art. As a most versatile artist he had a radically experimental practice in the field of painting, sculpture, photography and film as well as commercial and industrial design and scenography. His visual art together with his theoretical and educational work, his photographs, films and photograms – now synonymous with his name – were of such significance that they have transformed our thinking about art. In the series of Hungarian artists who accomplished world fame – Robert Capa, Martin Munkácsi, György Kepes – the Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art now presents the work of László Moholy-Nagy in an impressive exhibition.
