Exhibition at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, 5 May - 27 September 2015

László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) became notorious for the declarations he made about the end of painting, encouraging artists to exchange brush, pigment, and canvas for camera, film, and searchlight. Even as he made these radical claims, he painted throughout his career.

This exhibition catalogue illuminates the evolution of painting's role for Moholy-Nagy through key periods in his career. It also includes an introduction to the history, qualities, and significance of plastic materials that Moholy-Nagy used over the course of his career, and an essay on how his project of shaping habitable space in his art and writing resonated with artists and industrial designers in the 1960s and 1970s.
