The artwork titled “Am 7 (26)” was created by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy in the year 1926. It belongs to the Constructivism art movement and falls under the genre of abstract art. The artwork epitomizes Moholy-Nagy’s innovative approach within the Constructivist movement of the early 20th century.
In this piece, sharp, geometric shapes dominate the composition, contrasting and overlapping in a vibrant display of color and form. Predominantly featuring black, grey, white, and bright orange hues, the artwork employs circles and rectangles intersecting at dynamic angles, creating a sense of depth and movement. The largest circular form in grey overlaps smaller, white circles and sharply cut black and orange segments, demonstrating Moholy-Nagy’s skillful manipulation of fundamental geometric elements to express abstract ideas. The rigid structure and clear delineation of shapes reflect the ethos of Constructivism, emphasizing utility and the purity of form.
