László Moholy-Nagy Hungarian American, 1895-1946
Moholy-Nagy’s space modulators were a series of works that began in 1930 as a radical new form of art
which would incorporate multi-media such as film, kinetics, glass, metal, painting, and more all at once.
As his daughter Hattula Moholy-Nagy notes “Since there was no name for this kind of art, he called his
hybrid painting-sculpture creations light modulators” [or space modulators]. Sculpture, cinema, and
painting coalesce through these vibrant, hybrid works which the artist considered “vehicles for
choreographed luminosity.”
