- An amazing and partly animated documentary on the great artist Moholy-Nagy produced by John Halas in 1990.
"The Hungarian artist László Moholy-Nagy was a major propagandist for Abstraction and constructive functionalism in art and design. His exploration of light, space and dynamism, while it employed modern technology and materials, was nevertheless informed by a sense of intuition and even spiritual aspiration. In addition to making avant-garde films and documentaries between 1926 and 1935, he experimented in a wide variety of artistic disciplines: architecture, painting, graphic arts, photography, theater and fashion. Using archive footage, photographs, computer and hand-drawn animation sequences, this film surveys his prolific career."
Thank you John Halas to create this animation video for us and Thank you Dan Spegel for sharing this.
Thank you very much. I am researching this man for my Graphic Design course and this has proved very useful. Moholy-Nagy was a visionary in his field. Bravo.
He is an amazing man. Not only were his ideas about light and space amazing, but his paintings were truly amazing. Such a sad loss of a great Hungarian.
The 90s documentary video with their narrating style are so nostalgic to me 😄

This is great thank you for posting.
People should make their own documentaries on their favorite obscure historical figures....there is so much digital info online now, just need a good naration over it.
Happy Birthday László Moholy-Nagy ~
Amazing. ♥
Looks like a great doc, but after trying it for 2 minutes, I think I'll wait for a higher-res version. 240 is a little low for a video on art.
+morganfisherart -- I see I am not the only one who thinks this. Considering how Moholy-Nagy worked in a visual medium, having a 240p video showing his work is a real disappointment. It's unfair to the genius of this great man.
This was amazing until the point where the narrator said "we woud like to show you how he woud have used a computer if it was available in his lifetime.
