Via Giulia hosts visionary Hungarian artist: László Moholy-Nagy, a pioneer whose radical approach shaped photography, film, design, and the entire language of audiovisual arts.
As part of the “Great Masters of Photography” series, this exhibition celebrates one of the 20th century’s most influential innovators—an artist who freed photography from pictorial tradition and explored light, movement, and space through bold experiments in photograms, cinema, and interdisciplinary design.
From curator Gabriella Csizek:
Moholy-Nagy’s work bridged art, theory, and pedagogy—from the Bauhaus to his school in Chicago. His explorations of light and “vision in motion” laid the foundations for modern visual culture and continue to inspire today’s audiovisual creators. His optimism, curiosity, and restless experimentation shaped a new way of seeing the world.
Exhibition curated by Gabriella Csizek, in collaboration with the Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center (Budapest) and the Hungarian Academy in Rome, with the support of the Hungarian Ministry of Culture and Innovation.
