Closeup view of EM1, EM2, and EM3 by hungarian artist László Moholy-Nagy, 1923.
After encountering the work of the Russian avant-garde at an exhibition in Berlin in the early 1920s, Moholy-Nagy was persuaded by these artistsââ¬â¢ belief that a revolutionary society demanded a radically new artistic language. He incorporated these ideas into his teaching at the Bauhaus, the influential German school of art, architecture, and design founded in Weimar in 1919 whose curriculum embraced modern technology as integral to art.
This works are housed in The Museum of Modern Art, MoMA, New York, USA.
