Sprayed discs and looping line over violet

Two large discs fill the sheet, one above the other, worked in sprayed colour with dark charcoal massed around their edges. The upper disc is mostly white and carries blocks of orange, pale yellow and soft blue, with deep blue at either side and small red marks scattered through it. The lower disc is a saturated violet, and across it sit clusters of red blossom-like marks, each with a pale centre. A single looping white line travels over both, doubling back on itself again and again. Signed 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.
