Philippe Halsman. Salvador Dali in the fetal position 1942.
Following Dali’s statements about his memories of his prenatal life, Halsman photographed the painter « like an embryo in an egg, » in the fetal position on white sheets. Halsman then retouched the negative to give the illusion of nudity and superimposed the resulting image with a photograph of an egg.

Egon Schiele. Seated nude woman 1912.
Egon Schiele’s nude rises like a sculpture from the paper; but instead of being chiseled out of stone, she is being shaped by pencil and brush.

The reference to sculpture, and more precisely to Rodin, is not a haphazard one. The latter’s sculptural work had been presented at the Secession and was therefore known by the younger generation. Especially Schiele perceived it as a revelation in his search for a new idea of human representation.

The present work dates from 1912, the year in which Wally Neuzil became his trusted companion. It is entirely possible that she was the model for the present drawing.

Tribute to Laszlo Moholy Nagy.
László Moholy-Nagy is known for his participation in various avant-garde movements in the interwar period, in which he was associated with members of Dadaism, Constructivism, and De Stijl. He explored new photography techniques by designing photograms. At the request of the founder and director of the Bauhaus school, Walter Gropius, the artist became a teacher there in 1923, receiving the title of Master. He left the school in 1928 and moved to the United Kingdom in 1934. There, he continued his artistic experimentation and worked in advertising. In 1937, he moved to the United States to open the New Bauhaus school in Chicago.

Laszlo Moholy Nagy. Composition Z IV 1923

Laszlo Moholy Nagy. Composition Z IV 1923

Painted in 1923, Z IV demonstrates the artist’s characteristic innovative boldness, establishing a wonderful dialogue between the black diagonal bar and the abstract ray of light interspersed with vertical black lines and three colored dots. Moholy-Nagy was convinced that current art must be part of contemporary reality in order to convey meaning to its audience, which was in the grip of new technological advances. He therefore considered traditional figurative painting obsolete and turned to pure geometric abstraction, influenced by Russian constructivists such as Malevich and El Lissitsky. In this work, Moholy-Nagy explores a way of representing light on the painted canvas: the colored circles appear translucent when one plane is superimposed on the next, their hues changing accordingly. These intersecting, transparent forms read like converging beams of light.

Vassily Kandinsky. Circles in the circle 1923.
This painting reflects his unwavering belief that certain shapes and colors represent emotions that can be coded and brought together into a whole, reflecting the unity of the universe.
Twenty-six intersecting circles of varying sizes and shades are surrounded by the black circle, several of which are connected by straight black lines. Two beams of yellow and blue light emanating from the upper corners intersect toward the center, altering the colors of the circles as they meet.
The artist states: « A circle is a combination of the most extreme opposites. Combining the eccentric and the concentric into a single shape and balancing it with another. » The black outer circle, as if it were the second image, focuses on the interaction between the inner circles, as well as two diagonal bands that intersect to enhance the effect of perspective in the composition.

Egon Schiele, The Self, Eros and Death

As a visual poet, Egon Schiele invented a style capable of expressing his tormented ego, his vigorous libido as an anguished adolescent and his anger at the precariousness of life.
