Moholy-Nagy. Laboratory of vision

Sobre el libro Moholy-Nagy. Laboratory of vision de Laszlo Moholy-Nagy publicado por Kokushokankokai al 2011:

This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition Moholy-Nagy/In Motion introducing works spanning the full oeuvre of Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), an artist who brought new vision to the art of the 20th century. As a prominent member of the avant-garde art movements between the two World Wars, he developed an artistic ideal of creating works of light and motion. The pursuit of his career as a creative artist and art educator took Moholy-Nagy from his native Hungary to Vienna, then on to Germany, the Netherlands and Great Britain and finally to the United States. Working in painting, photography, sculpture, film, graphic design, stage design and publishing, Moholy-Nagys career addressed many of the new issues confronting art in the 20th century, such as the relationship between art and industrial technology and the new media of information and communications. This exhibition marks Japans first full-scale retrospective of the art of Moholy-Nagy and spans the artists full career from its earliest years to its last in some 300 works and related materials and documents.
