ISBN: 9780300214796.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn unprecedented study of an important 20th-century artist and his diverse body of work\n\nThis exceptional book offers a fresh and extensive examination of the work of pioneering artist László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1946). The first major American survey of his oeuvre in nearly a half century and the most extensive English-language book on the artist in thirty years, the catalogue offers an integrated presentation of Moholy’s production across a range of art forms including painting, sculpture, photography, graphic design, film, advertising, and theater.\n\nDistinguished scholars offer new insights into Moholys materials and working methods; the relation among writing, administration, and art making in his practice; and his influence on contemporary art. Particular emphasis is given to Moholys American years and his leadership of the Chicago Bauhaus as well as his reception as a painter.\n\nOver 300 works are illustrated in color, including the artists early paintings and photograms, his whimsical photomontages---all of which are reproduced together here for the first time---and late works in Plexiglas. Beautifully designed and produced, with a PVC plastic jacket printed on the inside and a foil stamped casewrap, the book is a marvelous tribute to this phenomenally innovative artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Art Institute of Chicago","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945795645493,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300214790","price":315.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300214796_4e29f3d6-0540-46ff-9cb3-75e5d296abe6.jpg?v=1778875820","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/moholynagy-future-present-9780300214796","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
