Contextual Influences: Photomontages



Laszlo Maholy-Nagy

This is a piece by Laszlo Maholy-Nagy an Hungarian photographer. He does a lot of photomontages as well as his photography. After looking through some of his work this one stood out. I really like how this piece looks. I like they way that the grey beams overlay and create darker sections. I love how simple this piece is. As a graphic design student i really like this piece, Laszlo Maholy-Nagy has utilised his space really well, as the white space draws your eyes to the centre.



Jan Tschichold

This is a photomontage by Jan Tschichold this is another really nice pice of work, I really like how she has used the white space and I also really like the red lines used which ads a bit of depth to the image. The way the images are put together looks really professional. I think this artist is really talented and is one of my favourites that I have found.


Man Ray

Man Ray is a very famous and high rated designer and artist. He does a lot of wacky and strange work that stands out well and looks very good. This is a piece found and I decided I would use as an example. I really like this piece as its quite strange and can be hard to make out, i like the facet that he has only used 2 colours ,black and white, but the main thing i like is that you can look at it for a a long time just trying to work out what it is you are looking at.
