Moholy Nagy
Invented at the same time as photography, in the early 19th century, the photogram would only be used for its intrinsic qualities by artists in the early twenties, notably by Christian Schad and Man Ray. At that time, when he was mainly painting, Moholy-Nagy soon understood the richness of the material, since his first photograms were done in Berlin in 1922; from then on he produced them continuously until 1946. Today there are 430 pieces, and this exhibition is the largest collection presented so far. In it we can distinguish three large groups corresponding to the main places where the works were produced: Berlin (1922 and 1923 - 1928), the Bauhaus period (1923 - 1928), then exile in London (1935-1937), and in the United States (1937-1946)Moholy Nagy is a photographer and he has made lots of photograms he made the most from 1922 to 1943 for an example the one on the right is on of his. He sadly died from 1946 three years after his last

How to make a photogram?
To make a photogram you need all different kinds of objects such as scissors and pens because they will show up clearly . When you have got the objects then you get a card with a shinny side and a none shiny side and with the shiny side face it up. Before that you need to but the red light on. After all this you would put all the objects on the card when done you need to count for one second after you would put the card into the developer for 2 minutes and with the same time but into the stop and fix and then you will see how it came out. |
