Vision in Motion

by László Moholy-Nagy

Laszlo Moholy-Nagyb was a major innovator of the avant-garde and one of the most important theoreticians of the 1920s. He experimented ceaselessly with new ways of seeing - using photograms, photomontages, film and kinetic sculpture. In his photography he tried to use new angles of view and composition, and he recorded the effects of light on film that only the camera lens could capture. This book contains colour work which has never been published before.

[Clara · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the most important books I have read for art history, for addressing education, and for just plain how to think.
"Tradition must be dynamic" one of my favorite maxims was taken from this book.d

McLuhan: “To the teacher of English Maholy-Nagy and Giedion offer a set of master strategies for the extension and unification of the literary with all the other arts and even sciences ... Moholy-Nagy being quite often a naif of sensation like Stein or Watson”
