Painting, Photography, Film

Moholy-Nagy's efforts to gain recognition for photography and film as artistic mediums equal to painting are thoroughly presented and justified in this volume of the Bauhaus Books. The use of artistic tools is radically reformed as a result. The Hungarian artist advocates for a shift in function within the visual arts and for the further development of photographic design possibilities. Alongside theoretical and technical approaches, as well as detailed excursions into the vast field of photography as a medium, Moholy-Nagy provides a comprehensive overview of the numerous possibilities that photographic and cinematic creation already offered in 1925, illustrated by an extensive appendix of images.
