Fotogramm
László Moholy-Nagy American, born Hungary
Not on view
As part of the visual and technical experimentation that characterized the Bauhaus, the German design school where he taught, Moholy-Nagy made cameraless photographs, or "photograms," by placing objects on a sheet of photographic paper and exposing it to light. He used the technique to make abstract compositions with spatial, tonal, and gestural qualities that challenged traditional modes of representation.
