nuclear I, CH
1945
László Moholy-Nagy’s 'Nuclear I, CH' looks like a giant, colorful eye peering through a geometric tunnel. Painted in 1945, right at the dawn of the atomic age, the title hints at the explosive energy of the time, but the artwork itself is a calm exploration of space and light. You see a massive white circle framed by vibrant splashes of red, green, and blue, while a stark black-and-white grid—resembling a skyscraper or a road stretching into infinity—anchors the bottom. As a former Bauhaus professor, Moholy-Nagy loved mixing art with technology and architecture, creating compositions that feel like blueprints for a futuristic world.
