Laszlo Moholy-Nagy


Laszlo Moholy-Nagy was a Hungarian painter and photographer who believed that humanity could only defeat the fracturing experience of modernity. He also thought that artists' understanding of vision had to specialize and modernize.

Laszlo Moholy-Nagy was fascinated by light throughout his career, so he create this photo gram. He laid everyday objects on light-sensitive paper before exposing them to light. This photo, the paintbrush lain over his hands.

This photo offered the opportunity to show the light and shade. Laszlo Moholy-Nagy said, he lain the light-sensitive paper before the light.

For me, I think Laszlo Moholy-Nagy could easily using light and dark to finish his photograph. He was good at using bright part connect with dark part of the tools, then put them together. I can see this not only in his photo works, but also some of his painting project. Such as the work composition A 19 posted in 1927. He used the color to show people lights and dark.
