Summary

Deutsch: László Moholy-Nagy Malerei Umschlag 1925

László Moholy-Nagy was a Hungarian painter, photographer, and filmmaker, known for his contributions to the Bauhaus school of art and design in Germany. His work at the Bauhaus had a significant influence on the development of modern art and design, and his ideas about the use of technology in art continue to be influential today. Moholy-Nagy's work was a combination of avant-garde practices, functionalism, and the use of new technologies. He was interested in the relationship between the human body and design, and the effects of technology on art.

László Moholy-Nagy is arguably one of the greatest influences on post-war art education in the United States. A modernist and a restless experimentalist from the outset, the Hungarian-born artist was shaped by Dadaism, Suprematism, Constructivism, and debates about photography. When Walter Gropius invited him to teach at the Bauhaus, in Dessau, Germany, he took over the school's crucial preliminary course, and gave it a more practical, experimental, and technological bent. He later delved into various fields, from commercial design to theater set design, and also made films and worked as a magazine art director. But his greatest legacy was the version of Bauhaus teaching he brought to the United States, where he established the highly influential Institute of Design in Chicago.
