Construction IX 1922

László Moholy-Nagy made this artwork called Construction IX and I see it in black, white, and shades of grey. It makes me think about architecture and the way we construct our world with shapes, lines, and forms. You get the sense that the artist is building something, putting things together in a way that feels both planned and spontaneous. I bet Moholy-Nagy was really in the zone when he was making this! The lines feel so precise and deliberate, like he knew exactly where each one needed to go. I’m looking at the horizontal strokes and the way they interact with the geometric forms. It's like the artist is inviting us to explore how different shapes can create a sense of balance and tension. Moholy-Nagy’s work feels linked to the ideas of the Bauhaus, where he taught. So many artists inspire each other, riffing on themes, using a shared vocabulary of forms to reimagine how we see the world.
