LASZLO MOHOLY-NAGY
BOOK
Can one person serve as writer, designer and information architect?
This book was my first successful attempt to wear multiple hats.
I spent two weeks researching Moholy-Nagy and writing the content
for this book. During the research process, I discovered Moholy-Nagy’s
multi-disciplinary past as a photographer, graphic designer, filmmaker
and sculptor. His mastery of various mediums allowed him to move
between artistic communities and develop a model of design thinking
that integrated these various arts. In the book, I wanted to heighten
awareness of his past and show how his ability to cross disciplines
influenced his artistic life. The book provides a brief chronology
and introduction to Moholy-Nagy. The remainder of the book is devoted
to the many types of design he engaged. The visual design of the
book emphasizes the strong lines and clean layouts of the Bauhaus
movement that Moholy-Nagy pioneered.
