An art question

Hungarian artist: LÁSZLÓ MOHOLY-NAGY. A young lady, I'd say of college age, came in looking for a book about Moholy-Nagy. As usual, the Hewlett-Woodmere has books about him in its collection. Once again I was amazed at how comprehensive the collection is; rarely do we not have material about an artist a patron asks for. And, of course, there is a website for him.


"Founder's Day At The Bauhaus", left to right: Moholy-Nagy, Gropius, Breuer, Mies van der Rohe. The back page by Bruce McCall for The New Yorker magazine.
