Works

László Moholy-Nagy was a visionary Hungarian artist, designer, and educator whose interdisciplinary practice spanned painting, photography, film, sculpture, and typography, making him one of the most influential figures of 20th-century modernism. As a master at the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau during the 1920s, he championed the integration of art, technology, and industry, developing his pioneering photograms and Light-Space Modulator, which explored light as a medium. After fleeing Nazi Germany, he founded the New Bauhaus in Chicago in 1937, cementing his legacy as a transformative force in design education and modernist art.
