« For it is to her that I always return through the thread of this limitless love, this universally widespread love. And craters grow in my hands, mazes of breasts grow there, explosive loves grow there that my life wins over my sleep. » (Antonin Artaud)

Man Ray. Dead leaf 1943.
Remarkable for its simplicity, this photograph of a brittle castor oil plant leaf appeared with four others by Man Ray in the October 1943 issue of Minicam Photography. In its caption, Man Ray wrote with unusually poignant intensity that he knew that “the dying leaf would completely disappear tomorrow.” One is tempted to interpret the work’s melancholy as the artist’s growing dissatisfaction with his lack of recognition and financial success in Los Angeles, and his fear that the work he had left behind in France would be destroyed during the war.

Laszlo Moholy Nagy
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
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.

« Solitude, as I understand it, does not signify an unhappy state, but rather secret royalty, profound incommunicability yet a more or less obscure knowledge of an invulnerable singularity »(Jean Genet)
Vassily Kandinsky
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.
