In the 1920s, the two-dimensional space where a work of art is realized changed radically. Traditionally, in such a space, representation of light and shadow took a leading role in realizing the illusion which makes painted objects appear three-dimensional. In addition, it began to be known that light and shadow have something to do with the time. It could be said that at Bauhaus, the possibilities of representing time through light and shadow were explored through contrasts and gradations, and that they were explored in the 1920s through moving pictures. In the age when actual light was incorporated into art, what influence did scientific research on perception have on this art? To explore this question, I will examine crossover and experimental works from Bauhaus, mainly
those by L. Hirschfeld-Mack, L. Moholy-Nagy, and J. Albers.
