Behind the Back of the Gods 1928

"Behind the Back of the Gods" is a photomontage created by László Moholy-Nagy in 1928, showcasing the artist's exploration of abstract forms and dynamic compositions. This work, characteristic of the constructivist and Dada movements, employs geometric shapes and contrasting light and dark tones to create a sense of spatial disorientation and visual tension. The juxtaposition of figures and objects, like the central ring holding a seated individual and the child dangling below, further emphasizes the surreal and abstract nature of the composition.
