<Landschaft mit Häusern>

This landscape, with its Cubist accents, marks the transition between László Moholy-Nagy’s early naturalistic works and his abstract geometric production. The work recalls both the pared-down volumes of the landscapes painted by Pablo Picasso in Spain in 1909, with which the Hungarian artist was well acquainted, and the aerial views of battlefields that were widely published in newspapers during the First World War (1914-1918).
