Inhalt: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "An extension of my previous book, 'The new vision' ... [It] concentrates on the work of the Institute of Design, Chicago."

Inhalt: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "This integration of text and illustrations amply expresses the interrelation of art, technology, and science."

Inhalt: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Of all contemporary artists who have received world-wide recognition none is more versatile than L. Moholy-Nagy. Herbert Read, well known art editor of London says: ‘As a painter, typographer, photographer, stage-designer and architect he is one of the most creative intelligences of our time.’ Certainly, no one is better qualified to write this great book of our time, which may well become the blue-print for education through art. A pioneer-participant in the modern artistic and intellectual movements in Europe, Moholy presents in this, his latest book, the essence and summation of his philosophy upon which the educational program of the Institute of Design in Chicago is founded. In clear understandable language, devoid of unintelligible phrases, Moholy clarifies the relation of modern design, painting, literature, architecture, the cinema, science and industry. He makes the most thorough inquiry thus far attempted into the space-time reality of modern man and his emotional existence. A strong advocate of the interrelatedness of all human activities Moholy makes a passionate plea for the integration of contemporary art, technology, science and social plannings with life. In the belief that the most forceful statements are provided by illustrations the author amplifies his text lavishly with pictorial material, among the illustrations there is a large variety of media and subject matter such as industrial design and advertising art; contemporary painting including cubism and abstract art; photography, photograms, photomontages, collages and shots from motion pictures; sculpture, architecture etc. – all examples by the best exponents in the various fields. The book will furnish many readers with a contemporary thinking attitude toward art and life, and with a new insight into the reason for modern art. It is recommended for general reading without reservation."

Originaltitel: Von Material zu Architektur

Inhalt: "A thinker and educator, Moholy felt the urge to find objective definitions for the new space conception which had sprung up from his work and that of other contemporary leaders. Early in 1928 he wrote 'Von Material zu Architektur' (Albert Langen Verlag, München) which is based on his educational experience and lectures at the Bauhaus between 1923 and 1928. A revised English edition, published under the title 'The New Vision' (Brewer, Warren & Putnam, Inc., New York, 1930, and W.W. Norton, New York, 1938) has long been out of print. The increasing demand for this book, which has been so stimulating and helpful to students of modern art and design, has brought about the issue of the present new, revised, and greatly enlarged edition. 'The New Vision' has proved to be more than a personal credo of an artist. It has become a standard grammar of modern design."

Originaltitel: Punkt und Linie zu Fläche : Beitrag zur Analyse der malerischen Elemente

Inhalt: "In this title Kandinsky analyzed the geometrical elements which make up every painting-the point and the line. He called the physical support and the material surface on which the artist draws or paints the basic plane, or BP. He did not analyze them objectively, but from the point of view of their inner effect on the observer. A point is a small bit of color put by the artist on the canvas. It is neither a geometric point nor a mathematical abstraction; it is extension, form and color. This form can be a square, a triangle, a circle, a star or something more complex. The point is the most concise form but, according to its placement on the basic plane, it will take a different tonality. It can be isolated or resonate with other points or lines. A line is the product of a force which has been applied in a given direction: the force exerted on the pencil or paintbrush by the artist. The produced linear forms may be of several types: a straight line, which results from a unique force applied in a single direction; an angular line, resulting from the alternation of two forces in different directions, or a curved (or wave-like) line, produced by the effect of two forces acting simultaneously. The book contains many photographic examples and drawings from Kandinsky's works which offer the demonstration of its theoretical observations, and which allow the reader to experience the inner effect of the point and line to plane."

Inhalt: "The first unavoidable question is, naturally, the question of the art elements) which are the building materials of works of art and which, as such, must be different in every art. We must at the outset distinguish basic elements from other elements, viz.-elements without which a work in any particular art cannot even come into existence. [...] This book will deal with two basic elements which are the very beginning of every work of painting, and without which this beginning is not possible. At the same time, they constitute the conclusive material for an independent kind of painting-graphic. We must, therefore, start here with the proto-element of painting-the Point. [...] The investigation should proceed in a meticulously exact and pedantically precise manner. Step by step, this 'tedious' road must be traversed-not the smallest alteration in the nature, in the characteristics, in the effects of the individual elements should escape the watchful eye. Only by means of a microscopic analysis can the science of art lead to a comprehensive synthesis, which will extend far beyond the confines of art into the realm of the 'oneness' of the 'human' and the 'divine.' [...] The aim of this small book is merely to point out, in a general and fundamental way, the 'graphic' basic elements viewed: 1. 'abstractly,' i.e. isolated from the objective environment of the material form of the material plane, and 2. on the material plane-the effect of the fundamental characteristics of this plane. But even this must be restricted to a rather superficial investigation-as an attempt to find a standard method in this scientific research of art and to test it in its use."
