Experiment in Totality by Sibyl Moholy-Nagy 1969
“This book by Moholy-Nagy’s second wife tells briefly the moving but disturbing story of her husband’s life, from his birth in Hungary in 1895 to his premature death from leukaemia in Chicago in 1946. It is disturbing because of its candid revelation of the suffering he caused himself and others by his fanatical dedication to his work in the face of grave difficulties.” Excerpt from Dr Alastair Grieve’s review of the book published in Art and Artists, the draft of which is loosely inserted into this copy. Also included is with the request for the review from Colin Naylor then editorial assistant at Art and Artists, a University of East Anglia staff memorandum and a private view invitation from Annely and David Juda to Alastair Grieve, most likely for an exhibition of works by Moholy-Nagy.
