Krisztina Passuth

Moholy-Nagy "was the dominant theoretician of the Bauhaus during its most prosperous era; his Constructivist/Suprematist paintings are among the finest achievements in European art of the twenties; he was a pioneer in kinetic sculpture; and his photographs, photograms and photoplastics led the way in exploring the full potential of photo reproduction. ... [H]e also made films, designed scenery and costumes, and excelled in commercial graphics and exhibition design. ... [This book] examines in detail the various stages of his career, from Hungary and Kassák's Activist circle during the First World War to Germany and the Bauhaus, from England in the 1930s to America and the founding of the New Bauhaus in Chicago ... [and includes] a wide selection of Moholy-Nagy's writings [and] extracts from his own letters, diaries and reminiscences, [and] critical commentaries of his work."--Back cover.

The New Vision

Incansable experimentador de las posibilidades de la pintura, la fotografía y el cine, el húngaro László Moholy-Nagy es una de las figuras emblemáticas de la efervescencia creativa que caracterizó el período de entreguerras. Artista polivalente, pedagogo y teórico, una de sus obras más influyentes es Pintura, fotografía, cine, publicada originariamente en 1925. En ella, y tomando como base la pintura, la práctica fotográfica y la experiencia cinematográfica, elaborará una estética de la luz cuyo elemento generador será el fotograma. Más adelante y frente a la realidad norteamericana, la reflexión teórica de Moholy-Nagy profundizará en cuestiones ópticas y cinéticas, y el diseño pasará a ser su nuevo punto de interés. Sin embargo, a lo largo de toda su trayectoria, y de Berlín a Chicago, su proyecto no varía y sigue el modelo del constructivismo: unir el arte a la vida, integrar el conjunto de las prácticas artísticas en la existencia cotidiana, reafirmar sin cesar el potencial creativo de cada individuo, trabajar para conseguir un hombre total, racional, afectivo y sensorial. Ese 'hombre nuevo' en el que todas las vanguardias de los años veinte quisieron creer. Esta edición de Pintura, fotografía, cine también incluye otros artículos sobre fotografía que publicó de forma aislada en diferentes revistas y que constituyen todavía un conjunto de gran valor para el estudio, la teoría y la historia conjunta de la pintura, el cine y la fotografía.

Hans Maria Wingler

This translation of the original 1925-27 Moholy-Nagy book presents his innovative Rayographs made without a camera, the creative X-rays, super-wide-angle fisheye pictures, double prints, collages, montages, and the Bauhaus artist's thoughts on the interrelationship of type, audio, and visual perception.

Painting, Photography, Film

Published in 1929, 'From Material to Architecture' contains the main features of László Moholy-Nagy?s teaching program at the Bauhaus. With its focus on the preliminary course, this last book of the 14-volumes series explains how students ?develop towards practice from day to day.? The educational principle behind it, Jedermann ist begabt (everyone is talented), was central to teaching at the Bauhaus from 1919 to its conclusion in 1933.00Moholy-Nagy?s second contribution within the series (he also wrote 'Painting, Photography, Film', volume 8) searches ?for the closest connection between art, science and technology by aiming for the training of finer sensory perception.?

Few creative movements have been more influential than the Bauhaus, under the leadership of Walter Gropius. The art of the theater commanded special attention. The text in this volume is a loose collection of essays by Oskar Schlemmer, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Farkas Molnár (who in an illustrated essay shares his vision of a total theatre space), with an introduction by Bauhaus leader Walter Gropius. Originally published in German in 1924, Die Bühne im Bauhaus was translated by A. S. Wensinger and published by Wesleyan in 1961. It was prepared with the full cooperation of Walter Gropius and his introduction was written specially for this edition. From Bauhaus experiments there emerged a new aesthetic of stage design and presentation, a new concept of ¿total theater.¿ Its principles and practices, revolutionary in their time and far in advance of all but the most experimental stagecraft today, were largely the work of Oskar Schlemmer, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and their students. Profusely illustrated and startling in its typography (the work of Moholy-Nagy), the 1924 volume quickly became a collector¿s item and is now virtually unobtainable. Those interested in the stage, the modern visual arts, or in the bold steps of the men of genius who broadened the horizons of aesthetic experience will appreciate that this translation is available again.
