László Moholy-Nagy took this photograph from an elevated perspective and through the blurred grillwork of a balcony. This photograph compresses foreground and background together. The effect is an image that is optically true yet alien to common visual experience. The vantage point transforms an ordinary street scene into a dynamic interplay of forms. Such experimentation characterizes the approach of Moholy-Nagy, who was fascinated by photography’s expressive range and used a variety of unusual techniques.
