A grey disc pierced by a folded blade

A large grey disc sits low on a near-white ground, its surface brushed so the tone shifts subtly across it. A long flat blade runs in from the right and passes through the disc, folded along its length so one face reads charcoal, one warm grey and one a pale rose at the tip. Above the disc two small quadrilaterals overlap, one dark navy and one mid grey, their crossing left as a clean white lozenge. Nothing casts a shadow, and the ground behind is left almost entirely bare.

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.
