In 1937, the Museum of Modern Art in New York held a retrospective of his work, which drew critical acclaim. Renowned art critic Clement Greenberg praised Moholy-Nagy as a “central figure in the development of abstract art.” Moholy-Nagy’s art is also highly influential in terms of its impact on the energy in the room. His use of light, shadow, and abstract forms creates a dynamic and engaging visual experience that draws viewers in and stimulates their imaginations. Moholy-Nagy saw art as a way of engaging with modern life and exploring new possibilities for creativity and expression, and his innovative approach continues to inspire artists and designers to this day. His art can be found in various museums and galleries around the world. Now, it can be found in your home too, translated into a refined handmade rug from your favorite Moholy-Nagy painting. -------- When you purchase a handmade carpet from Rug Your Life, Label STEP Fair Trade Partner, you help improve the lives of the people who created it and their families’.
