The New Vision is “an amazing book in which Moholy-Nagy expands on his 1928 treatise on Modern Design. The essay was written when the old German Bauhaus was very much alive, and is a definitive analysis of the movement aimed at removing the discrepancy between’fine’ and ‘applied’ art, which has had such far -reaching consequences. The work has become a standard primer in understanding modern art in general.
