Cruz roja y bolas blancas by László Moholy-Nagy, 1921

László Moholy-Nagy was obsessed with the machine age, and you can see it here in this geometric playground from 1921. Bold red lines slash across the composition like a highway system, while white circles float like futuristic satellites against a backdrop of black blocks and beige planes. This piece captures the spirit of Constructivism, a movement that treated art like engineering—clean, precise, and totally devoid of messy emotions. Moholy-Nagy later became a star teacher at the Bauhaus school, where he famously argued that a photographer was just as important as a painter!
