László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), Hungarian Fields (1919), Albertina Museum
This early painting by the Hungarian artist was made before he moved to Berlin, where he would become known as a member of the Bauhaus school, and later the director of the New Bauhaus in Chicago (USA). László Moholy-Nagy's writings about space would have a strong influence in many art movements.
"I am convinced that sooner or latter we shall have a genuine space system, a dictionary for space relationships, as we have today our color system or as we have our sound system for musical composition. This has another significance, too; it is not enough that the architects will be clear about spatial relationship and spatial composition but, if their work is to be appreciated, the layman, the client, must know about space, too." ('The New Bauhaus and Space Relationships', 1937)
