Laszlo Moholy-Nagy

You know, there are a lot of artists whom I totally respect and admire both locally and in the bigger scheme of things in the art world, but few and far between are there artists (both visually and musically... that's another future blog) that literally grab me and turn my insides out. Something happens on a level that I completely connect with visually, emotionally...even spiritually, and I find it very intriguing I've discovered some of these artists years after their death. Laszlo Moholy-Nagy being 66 years after his death. It amazes me how our lives have an affect on others and ripples throughout  history like a rock thrown into a pond, rippling out, touching the lives of others in a new generation. A distant future. There is no other way I can explain it, yet I am eternally grateful how I've been influenced by others. That being said, I introduce to you Mr. Laszlo Mohloy-Nagy, Hungarian/American (1895-1946). Artist proficient and innovative in Photography, Painting, typography, sculpture, printmaking, industrial design and film.
