The artwork titled “Costume Design for Tales of Hoffmann” was created by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy in 1929. This piece belongs to the art movement known as Dada and falls under the genre of design.
The artwork features a costume design rendered in a minimalist and geometric style. The figure depicted wears an elegant, form-fitting black garment that flows smoothly to the ground, suggesting a refined and sophisticated persona. The costume’s design is accentuated by contrasting white lines, and the figure’s facial features are delineated with a sense of abstraction, in keeping with the Dada aesthetic. The overall composition is both striking in its simplicity and evocative of avant-garde design principles.
