The aim of this paper is to analyze László Péri’s artistic development from painting to architecture between 1921 and 1924 from a transnational and interdisciplinary perspective. The invention of his «shaped canvases» (Herzogenrath 1973, 42) is linked here both to the theory of Gleichwertigkeit (equivalence) of the artist Arthur Segal and to the concept of Gestaltung as a method characteristic of the so-called International Constructivism. Péri’s new spatial cognition or Gestaltung of space is the main research interest he shared with Ludwig Hilberseimer and El Lissitzky. A comparison of their works would help to interpret Péri’s architecture turn as a terminus of his constructivist method politically oriented.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze László Péri’s artistic development from painting to architecture between 1921 and 1924 from a transnational and interdisciplinary perspective. The invention of his «shaped canvases» (Herzogenrath 1973, 42) is linked here both to the theory of Gleichwertigkeit (equivalence) of the artist Arthur Segal and to the concept of Gestaltung as a method characteristic of the so-called International Constructivism. Péri’s new spatial cognition or Gestaltung of space is the main research interest he shared with Ludwig Hilberseimer and El Lissitzky. A comparison of their works would help to interpret Péri’s architecture turn as a terminus of his constructivist method politically oriented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
