A yellow spire between grey planes on black

Two tall planes rise against black, one built from bands of grey that shade from near-white at the left to charcoal, the other a wedge of pale cream that tapers to a point at the foot. Between them a narrow yellow column runs almost the full height, carrying a slim blue line down its middle. A small cream spike breaks above the grey at the top right. Across the lower third a thin red line is drawn as an open quadrilateral, its corners marked by short crossbars, running out over the black to either side.

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.
