7am New Year's Morning by László Moholy-Nagy (1930)

Moholy-Nagy (an American born in Hungary) was a painter before he became the major proselytiser of the new vision at the Bauhaus, and he was both of these before he was an active photographer.

His experience with the abstract organization of pictorial space and with the school's design curriculum clearly inform this photograph.

A less sophisticated artist would not have seen that a picture could be hung on such a minimal scaffold of small incidents, traces, and shadows, precisely related.

n 1923, Moholy-Nagy was invited by Walter Gropius to teach at the Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany. He took over Johannes Itten's role co-teaching the Bauhaus foundation course with Josef Albers, and also replaced Paul Klee as Head of the Metal Workshop. This effectively marked the end of the school's expressionistic leanings and moved it closer towards its original aims as a school of design and industrial integration.

The Bauhaus became known for the versatility of its artists, and Moholy-Nagy was no exception. Throughout his career, he became proficient and innovative in the fields of photography, typography, sculpture, painting, printmaking, film-making, and industrial design.
