Moholy-Nagy’s transformations of “fragments of the world” in his photomontages are his consummate melding of social issues and formal experimentation. He drew underlying structures for the compositions, onto which he pasted bits of magazines, photographs, and even his own negatives. Circus performers, political and military figures, sporting events, and the liberated 'New Woman' of the Weimar Republic populate these montages, composed into social critiques and humorous parodies. | |||
