Always a mandatory stop when I am in Thessaloniki is the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography. Intimate and never crowded. A relaxing café and bar overlooking the ocean if you are in the mood.
Hungarian László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) has been a prominent figure of the modernism that exploded in the visual arts in the first decades of the 20th century. Multifaceted and pioneering, he worked in painting, photography, theatre and opera sets while he designed books, exhibitions and shop fronts. In 1923 he joined the Bauhaus where he taught the basic course, photography and metallurgy until 1928. In his more than 400 photographs he explored abstraction.
A visionary, multimedia, experimental artist he groped for the boundaries between media, techniques and materials, while in the relationship between art and technology he saw the threshold of a “brave new world” and the fulfillment of art’s social role.
The exhibition runs until 11November2026.
