One pale blue disc in a field of red on red

The whole panel is red, and everything in it is drawn by shifting that red rather than leaving it. A large circle sits right of centre, a shade darker than the ground. Broad diagonal planes sweep up behind it from the lower left, each a slightly different red. A narrow vertical bar stands left of centre with a horizontal bar laid across it, and a second bar reaches in from the left to end over the circle. High at the left, a small pale blue disc is the one thing in the picture that is not red.

László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1946) was a Hungarian painter, photographer and designer and one of the defining teachers of the Bauhaus, where he led the preliminary course and the metal workshop from 1923 to 1928. He worked in paint, photography, typography and light, pioneering the cameraless photogram and setting out his ideas in Malerei, Fotografie, Film (1925). Driven out of Germany, he worked in Amsterdam and London before settling in Chicago, where he founded the New Bauhaus in 1937. His work is held by the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim, the Art Institute of Chicago and Tate.
