Abstraction III 1922

László Moholy-Nagy's "Abstraction III" (1922) is a prime example of the artist's exploration of abstract forms. Executed in black and white, the composition features a simplified geometric design of circles and lines against a dark background. This minimalist approach is characteristic of the Constructivist movement, which Moholy-Nagy was heavily involved with. The artwork's starkness and precision capture the spirit of the time, reflecting the technological advancements and industrialization of the early 20th century. The interplay of light and shadow, achieved through the use of black and white, further enhances the geometric forms, inviting the viewer to engage with the artwork's visual language.
