“Floating Forms” is an abstract artwork created by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy in 1945, belonging to the Dada art movement. The artwork is a striking representation of geometric dynamism and abstract expression.
The artwork predominantly features a series of overlapping rectangular forms, rendered in hues of black, blue, green, yellow, and red, which seem to float within the composition. The background consists of numerous circular shapes outlined in a fine texture that contrasts with the solid and transparent qualities of the rectangular forms. The rectangles are arranged in a dynamic composition, creating a sense of movement and spatial ambiguity. The deliberate use of colors and shapes reinforces the abstract nature of the piece, encapsulating the exploratory and avant-garde ethos of the Dada movement. The overall composition evokes a sense of balance and rhythm, characteristic of Moholy-Nagy’s innovative approach to abstract art.
