«Laszlo Moholy-Nagy: Biographical Writings» is Louis Kaplan's intellectual biography of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, published by Duke University Press.
Louis Kaplan applies Derrida's deconstructivist model of the 'signature effect' to the figure of Moholy-Nagy, redefining biographical writing. He analyzes over twenty artistic and photographic works to show how the signature 'Moholy' oscillates between signified object and signifying matter, autobiography and auto-graphy, anticipating the postmodern debate.
Hardcover edition of 232 pages in English, published in 1995 on the centenary of Moholy-Nagy's birth. Includes bibliography (pp. 217-228) and index.
For artists, writers, art historians and literary theorists interested in the Bauhaus, constructivism and deconstruction.
