MODULE 7 - Reflecting on Chapters 16 & 17 - 1930 to 1970 - Photoplasty
This week I'm focusing my attention on the art of photoplastics, which was developed by László Moholy-Nagy.

According to McBride (2016) photoplasty is the "combination and interconnection of various graphic and other design elements with photographic works". Photoplastics definitely has a resemblance to the photomontages of the Berlin Dada movement. Moholoy-Nagy's photoplasty's black and white creations created a dynamic visual to a period of drastically changing art of the time.
