Laszlo Moholy-Nagy - Biographical Writings

"A significant contribution to the emergent field of 'New' Art History and Criticism. This study of signature and its effects generates a new approach to biography, by redefining it not as a compilation of historical details or facts, but rather as a system of production/reproduction, a signifying economy whose terms challenge the borders of literature and the visual arts."--Dalia Judovitz, author of "Dialectic and Narrative"
