Coloured rods and discs over ruled black

Two tapering slabs stand on a black ground ruled all over with fine white horizontal lines, one cream and one translucent grey that lets the ruling show through. A red panel of the same ruling is set into the cream slab. Three straight rods cross the picture, each ending in a disc: a cream rod between two green discs, a yellow rod between blue and orange, and a short one running up to a small orange trapezoid with a yellow centre. A red bar crosses low, ending in a hatched dark disc. Signed in red at the lower left.

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.
