László Moholy-Nagy

Photogram Untitled (1943)

Movement; Constructivism, Bauhaus

Series; N/A
Context ( How Was It Made?)

Due to Laszlo Moholy-Nagy's fondness for the philosophy of construcivitism, the train of thought suggesting art should be for social purposes and shouldn't be automated and mass produced, along with his belief that art should incorporate industry and technology, explains why this photo was created by the means of photogram, the process of using a partially-transparent object with photogenic paper and harsh lighting to create a negative, as it is a highly technological process which creates a highly toned image afterwards, fitting his philosophy of construcivitism and belief of mixing art with technology and industry.

Connotations

In the image we see the underside of a length of tape on a dark background, created through the process of photograms.

How Does It Relate to My Work?

Laszlo Moholy-Nagy's photogram work reltates to my own because his work incorporates the theme Circles and Curves. He also uses everyday object to create his work, like i am with paper.
