Am 2
1925
László Moholy-Nagy, a master of the Bauhaus school, created this energetic piece in 1925 as part of his 'Construction Paintings' series. Notice how the thick black diagonal slash cuts right through the red circle? Instead of just covering it, the colors seem to mix into a dark brown, creating a cool transparency effect that mimics light passing through glass. He was obsessed with the machine age, using these stark geometric shapes and primary colors to visualize the speed and rhythm of modern life.
