Flower, 1925-7 by "The enemy of photography is the convention, the fixed rules of 'how to do'. The salvation of photography comes from the experiment." 1 of 7 László Moholy-Nagy Signature Summary of László Moholy-Nagy László Moholy-Nagy
Photogram, 23 x 17.2 cm
Centre Pompidou, Paris. The rich black and white stark white of this composite flower of a Chrysanthemum indium plat. make it seem almost as if it is a three-dimensional model that has been sculpted out of marble or plaster. In fact, the image is a 'photogram' - a photographic image created without a lens. For Moholy-Nagy, the photogram was a convincing evidence that 'even the complete mechanisation of technics may not constitute a menace to its essential creativeness'.
