László Moholy-Nagy at Malmö Konsthall

Rediscovered photography of László Moholy-Nagy
Malmö Konsthall
19 February – 1 May 2011
László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) is now considered one of the classic modern artists. He worked in many different techniques and media, such as painting, photography, sculpture, film, graphics and set design. Everything he did was based on his burning interest in the visual. In many ways he was a child of his times – the new, modern world that was starting to take shape at the beginning of the 20th century. In the inter-war period, society was characterised by a strong belief in the future and a fascination with the life of the new urban environment, with its hectic pulse, technology and industry. Malmö Konsthall’s exhibition of the works of László Moholy-Nagy presents and showcases his photographic images, films and graphic works.
