White lines fan across a black block

A solid black block fills most of a cream sheet. Fine white lines fan out from a point near its upper left, spreading across the block and running on to its edges, while further long lines cut down across them from the upper right. A panel of fine cross-hatching sits at the centre, reading as a plane tilted away into depth. Across the lower middle lies a solid white plank, its right end stepped and cut away beneath. The sheet keeps wide plain margins, and the artist has signed in pencil below.

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.
