A white spiral and scattered discs on near-black

A broad white band curls into a spiral high on a near-black ground, a second arc turning inside it. Within the coil sit mid-grey shapes where partly translucent objects lay on the paper — a small card, angular fragments and a curved strip. A solid white disc rests just below the spiral, and four more discs are scattered across the lower half beside a small pointed lens shape, each ringed by a soft grey halo where the light spread around its edge.

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.
