l. moholy-nagy [Issue 1–2 of Telehor: The International Review New Vision, edited by František Kalivoda]. Brno, 1936. Czech, German, English, and French.
A quadrilingual issue of the Telehor art journal edited by the architect and cinema theoretician František Kalivoda, dedicated wholly to the work of László Moholy-Nagy. This is the journal's only issue.
The issue contains an introduction by the art historian and critic Sigfried Giedion, and brief essays written by Moholy-Nagy about various issues relating to his work (in Czech, German, English, and French). The issue centers around dozens of photographs and reproductions, some of them in color, of Moholy-Nagy's diverse oeuvre in various fields, including graphic arts, sculpture, chiaroscuro, photography, and photomontage, accompanied by text in Czech.
The issue is spiral-bound and has a paper cover. The front side of the cover is black, with the title "l. moholy-nagy" printed upon it. Other copies of the issue were published with a different cover, in color.
László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), a Jewish constructivist interdisciplinary artist born in Hungary, worked in various fields including painting, sculpture, photography, cinema, and graphic design. He studied with the avant-garde artist Róbert Berény, and upon his arrival in Berlin in 1920, he was invited to teach at the Bauhaus school, where he worked until 1928. When the Nazis came to power, he left Berlin and eventually arrived in Chicago, where he founded the New Bauhaus school in 1937, and became its head. The school closed shortly thereafter due to lack of funds, and was reopened as the Chicago School of Design in 1939.
[1] leaf (front cover), [1] 3–133, pp., [1] page (back cover) + [1] page (order forms for a subscription to the journal), 30 cm. Different pagination is noted in some libraries (138 pp). Good–fair condition. The front and back covers, and one of the pages, are detached from the spiral binding. Tears and open tears on the cover. Stains. Slight damage, tears, and open tears at the edges of the pages, not affecting the text or the photographs.
