Thank you, Barry McDonald - you rock. ❤ Maholy-Nagy is the freakin' coolest / my new favorite name, silent y and all. This is a dope composition. It really got me thinking about the artist and what the heck was on his mind when he made this. When I look at genre paintings, it's clear they want me to appreciate a slice of life. With a landscape, I can bask in the beauty of nature. But what the heck... lol, does Maholy-Nagy want me to do with this? 😂 I guess it makes me think of the order of things. So much of this is about arrangement of the shapes and how they are independent of but affected by the others. It's kinda trippy, hella deep.
The critique of this piece is so important. Thank you

arrangement of form and tone and their interplay. That's what music does, and M-N clearly felt painting can do that too.
@@smarthistory-art-history 😌 Composition... That's gorgeous. Thank you, Dr. Zookhur. I'm still getting used to that, it's a bit of an adjustment. 🤭
Excellent critique!
When they compare it to a still life (3:45) which painting do they reference?
In 1920, Bauhaus was still in Weimar.
Yes, that is correct. Thanks.
Yes, Moholy-Nagy was teacher at Bauhaus from 1923 to 1928, so he was teacher both in Weimar and in Dessau.
Is it the visualized distance between the earth and moon on a geometric scale?
