A grained spearhead over a cream arc on black

A tall pointed form stands against a deep black ground, its surface worked in dense grain that shades from pale at the top to charcoal where it narrows to a spike at the foot. Behind it a broad cream arc sweeps up from the lower left like the edge of a disc, its clean flat tone set against all that texture. A small tilted square, grained like the spearhead, sits where the two meet near the bottom. A thin cream rod leans in from the upper left, and the sheet is signed faintly at the lower right.

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.
