László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) was a tenacious| restless creative who associated with various early twentieth century vanguard art movements. Teaching at the legendary Bauhaus school| which this year sees its centenary| his early optical sound films experimented with the formal properties of film and blurred the lines between sound and image and the act of hearing and seeing sound.
