Laszlo Moholy-Nagy is a Hungarian artist born in 1895. He is considered as one of the main artists of Constructivism with 'his own abstract style influenced by Malewitsch and El Lissitzky' (Moholy Nagy) He was also a professor in the school of Bauhaus where he was a master. A lot of his 'ideologies related to the relationship between space, time and light and the interaction of man with these forces' (Museum of Modern Art) which explains his approach towards his painting. This is an artist I've never heard of and since abstract is an interesting topic of art to me personally, i really like his works which contain full of geometry and overlapping colors. He paints them with a lot of perspective and dimension showing a full awareness of space and time which creates different viewing angles for his paintings. The overlapping colors just add to that effect giving the painting a truly strong abstract look. And thats not one of his painting. It's actually a all of his paintings that are like that
