[Contents] László Moholy-Nagy "Color in Transparency: Photographic Experiments in Color 1934-1946" László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), a Hungarian-born avant-garde photographer of the early 20th century. His strong interest in light had a decisive influence on all periods of his work, and he demonstrated his skill in freely traversing the dimensions of light and space. In the early 1930s, he mastered the techniques of black and white photography, and color photography was one of the most important mediums for him, not only in his early years in Germany, but also when he re-established himself at the New Bauhaus and the Institute of Design, which he founded after moving to America and settling in Chicago. To this day, his color works have been largely unknown. The "Color in Transparency" exhibition features 100 works, including advertisements, portraits, cityscapes, New Bauhaus studies, and abstract compositions, created by Moholy-Nagy between 1934, when he first experimented with this medium, and his death in 1946. With a foreword by his daughter Hattula Moholy-Nagy, an essay and captions by art historian and critic Janine Fiedler, a chronology, and a bibliography, this fascinating and accessible area of Moholy-Nagy's work and its importance in his oeuvre are explained.
