Laszlo Moholy-Nagy believed that artists were "utopians of genius" capable of humanizing industry. In Leuk 5, he portrayed atomic structures with eerie beauty. This autobiographical painting refers to Moholy-Nagy's ambivalence about nuclear science, which led to the development of radiation treatments for his leukemia, but also to the invention of the atomic bomb.
