Synopsis
Ghostly photograms from a Bauhaus teacher and pioneer of the medium
László Moholy-Nagy was one of the Bauhaus' most influential teachers; his photographic skills, as well as his writing on the subject, helped to secure the medium's integral place in modern art. One of Moholy-Nagy's most notable contributions was his extensive exploration--from 1922 through 1943--of the aesthetic possibilities of the photogram (he coined the term). These ghostly traces of objects placed on photographic paper during exposure are part of a prolific legacy that included painting, sculpture and stage design. Moholy-Nagy's photograms have become emblematic of the medium, though they have yet to be fully critically explored. This well-illustrated catalogue raisonné is the first to feature all of his known photograms--nearly 450--in chronological order. This exhaustive volume examines the artistic, technical and biographical circumstances under which the works were created, places them in relation to other parts of Moholy-Nagy's practice and analyzes selected pieces at length.László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) taught at the Bauhaus for five years, founding The School of Design in Chicago, which became the Illinois Institute of Technology, in 1939.

Hardcover. Red fabric casebound book. There is a dust jacket with white and red text down a black spine. Pages: (5), 6-311, (1). Pofusely illustrated with a majoity black-and-white images. "László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) was one of the most internationally influential teachers at the Bauhaus. It is essentially owing to his effective artistic and journalistic skills that photography became an integral part of modern art in the twenties. He "discovered" the aesthetic possibilities of photograms in 1922 and continued his inventive work with them until 1943, turning them into icons of the medium that are still waiting to be fully brought to light. This catalogue raisonné, meticulously edited by photography expert Renate Heyne, is the first to feature all of the known works--close to 450 of them--in chronological order. Until now, most of them had only been published in history books and auction catalogues. This volume contains far more information than is usually found in a classic descriptive catalogue of works: it explains the artistic, technical, and biographical circumstances under which the photograms were created, examines them in relation to other areas of Moholy-Nagy's work, and analyzes them at length on the basis of selected pieces. A biography and a bibliography of the photograms round off this catalogue raisonné." Contents are as follows: Foreword / Hattula Moholy-Nagy -- Introduction / Floris M. Neusüss -- Light years of a life : the photogram in the aesthetic of László Moholy-Nagy / Herbert Molderings -- Light displays : relations so far unknown / Renate Heyne -- Remarks on the catalogue raisonné -- The Berlin photograms, 1922-1923.

Condition: Sehr gut. 1. 312 Seiten Zustand: sauber & frisch. // Mit zahlreichen Abbildungen. Text in Englisch. Unser Produktfoto entspricht dem hier angebotenen Artikel. Alle Artikel befinden sich stets in gebrauchsfähigem Zustand. Gebrauchte Bücher sparen Ressourcen gegenüber Neuware und schonen die Umwelt. László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) war neben Walter Gropius der international einflussreichste Lehrer des Bauhauses. Im Wesentlichen ist es seinem künstlerischen und publizistischen Wirken zu verdanken, dass die Fotografie in den 1920er-Jahren zu einem integralen Bestandteil des modernen künstlerischen Schaffens wurde. Mit seinen Fotogrammen, deren ästhetische Möglichkeiten er 1922 'entdeckte' und bis 1943 erfindungsreich auslotete, schuf er Ikonen des Mediums, die bis heute auf ihre vollständige Entdeckung warteten. Das Werkverzeichnis, von Renate Heyne mit kunstwissenschaftlicher Gründlichkeit bearbeitet, versammelt in chronologischer Abfolge erstmals alle derzeit bekannten, nahezu 450 Werke, von denen ein Großteil bisher nur in historischen Publikationen und Auktionskatalogen publiziert war. In seinem Informationsgehalt geht der Band weit über ein klassisches Werkverzeichnis hinaus: Er erläutert die künstlerischen, technischen und biografischen Umstände der Entstehung der Fotogramme, betrachtet sie in ihren Bezügen zu anderen Schaffensbereichen und beschreibt sie am Beispiel ausgewählter Stücke ausführlich. Eine Biografie und eine Fotogramm-Bibliografie runden den catalogue raisonné ab. /// Versand gratis Innerhalb Deutschlands - Portofrei in Deutschland- ab 20 Euro mit Post ID - Gratisversand deutschlandweit innerhalb Deutschlands gratis Versand -Versandkostenfrei innerhalb Deutschlands /// Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 2000 29,5 x 24,5 cm, Hardcover/Leinenband mit Schutzumschlag.
