Constructivism and Light Form

Japanese Society for Aesthetics Conference

Kanazawa College of Art

Presentation of research on L. Mohoi-Nagy's photographic theory. His photographs were criticized as formalistic in postwar America and elsewhere. But this formalism is a visual experiment in photography that has a great influence on today's photography. Regarding the fundamental concept of his photography, "new vision," he focused on the concept of light faktura and pointed out that the shaping of light aimed at expanding human perception.
