Moholy-Nagy's photogram 1923


Light, the sovereign core of Moholy-Nagy's oeuvre.
Moholy-Nagy (Hungary 1885 - VS 1946) is best known as a radical innovator of photography. He almost single-handedly put her on the way towards modernity. In 1923 he was appointed as a teacher at the Bauhaus in Weimar. He experimented in the 1920’s with the photographic process of exposing light sensitive paper with objects overlain on top of it, called photogram. His theory of art and teaching is summed up in the book The New Vision, from Material to Architecture.

Piet Mondriaan - Composition A - 1935


"The truly modern artist consciously recognizes aesthetic emotion as cosmic, universal" - quote Mondriaan


"The art of the 20th century was inspired by a different reality and she struggles with the task to give this -invisible- reality visible form. I have tried to describe this reality as a universalistic one, who takes the place of a traditional nominalistic worldview." - "About utopia and reality in art"- gathered drafting HLC Jaffe (1915-1984)


"Mondrian's paintings are a kind of paradigma, a kind of icon, in which the invisible essence of harmony is also visible to our eyes."- Gathered drafting HLC Jaffe (1915-1984)
