Mario Bellusi - 'Modern Traffic in Acient Rome' - 1930

 “The dynamic form, for its changeable and evolving essence, is a sort of invisible nimbus between an object and an action, between relative motion and absolute motion, between the visible and the invisible, between the object and its own indivisible setting. It is a kind of analogical synthesis dwelling on the borders between the real object and its plastic-ideal power and can only be grased by flashes of intuition.” -  Pittura scultura futuriste by Boccioni 1912/1913

A Man Ray Version of Man Ray, 1960

“Accordingly the artist’s work is to be measured by the vitality, the invention, and the definiteness

 and conviction of purpose within its own medium.” – Man Ray, ‘Statement’, NY 1916

Joseph Beuys 'Sand drawings' - 1974

"Art does not exist to serve the intellect, but to develop the creative potential and inner strength of man." - quote Joseph Beuys

The two lines in the sand refer to an early work “Intuition” Kat.28/mutiple” from 1968. They symbolise the difference between knowledge (the first limited upper line) and intuition (the second open line). Beuys believes that intuition is more reliable and stronger than acquired knowlegde. The second ‘intuition’-line ends in a well and gives the work an extra dimension.

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.
