View from the Pont Transbordeur 1929

This black and white photograph, *View from the Pont Transbordeur*, was made by László Moholy-Nagy, though we don’t know exactly when. The composition here is all about the dance between dark and light, shadow and form. Moholy-Nagy isn't just pointing a camera; he's actively shaping the way we see. The high contrast emphasizes the underlying structure of the bridge, almost like an abstract drawing in space. I'm drawn to the way the light catches the sails of the boat, framed by the geometric grid of the bridge. It reminds me of Constructivism, where artists explored how industrial materials could be used to create new forms of art. It makes me think of El Lissitzky, another artist who was interested in using geometric forms to create dynamic compositions. Both artists invite us to see the world in new and unexpected ways.
