Nel frattempo, nella vita di László Moholy-Nagy
Tutta la vita1920–1933 · Residenza
Berlin
1924
Meets Mayakovsky
In 1924 Moholy-Nagy met Vladimir Mayakovsky and made several photographic portraits of him.
1925
The book “Painting, Photography, Film”
Published in the Bauhaus Books series, it is where Moholy-Nagy chose the word “photosculpture” for his photomontages and advanced the idea of “New Vision” — that the camera could show the world as the eye cannot. He was the first interwar artist to suggest using the telescope, microscope and radiography in art; in 1929 the book appeared in Moscow as “Painting or Photography”.
1927–1929
Photography editor of “i 10”
From 1927 to 1929 Moholy-Nagy was photography editor of the Dutch avant-garde magazine International Revue i 10.
1928
Leaves the Bauhaus for his own Berlin studio
In 1928 Moholy-Nagy left the Bauhaus (Marianne Brandt took over the metal workshop) and set up his own design studio in Berlin, employing István Seboek, György Kepes and Andor Weininger. He designed sets for operatic and theatrical productions (including Erwin Piscator's political theatre) as well as exhibitions and books, ad campaigns and films.
