Customer Reviews

Of interest to designers and non-designers4
This book, considered an important work by many, was out of print for some years. Dover has recently republished it which is great for students of design.

It's easy to read and points to the rich ideas Moholy-Nagy wanted to share with the world.

It's ok3
Is it the grail for design? No. Will it help with design? Yes. Should you buy it?
Well, that's up to you and your skill level. I always appreciate art history that has details, techniques and philosophy that you can incorporate in your design. I bought many books from amazon. A lot of the books are good but I really suggest you read comments and ratings to see if you should buy.

Nagy's perception of space is something that is good to read.
