Laszlo Moholy-Nagy born July 20, 1895,
Bacsbarsod, Hung. died Nov. 24, 1946, Chicago Hungarian painter,
photographer, and art teacher, whose vision of a nonrepresentational
art consisting of pure visual fundamentals—colour, texture, light,
and equilibrium of forms—was immensely influential in both the fine
and applied arts in the mid-20th century. Moholy-Nagy studied law in
Budapest, joined the poetry circle of Endre Ady, and published
woodcuts of Cubist influence in the avant-garde journal Ma. He went
to Berlin in 1921, and in 1923 he headed the metal workshop of the
famous avant-garde school of design known as the Bauhaus and edited
the publications known as the Bauhausbook series. During his Bauhaus
years (1923–29) he evolved the contributions to art and to art
education for which he is known. As painter and photographer he
worked predominantly with light. His photograms were composed
directly on the film, and his “light modulators” (oil paintings on
transparent or polished surfaces) included mobile light effects. As
an educator, Moholy-Nagy evolved a widely accepted curriculum
developing natural visual gifts instead of specialized skills in the
student. His dictum was: “Everybodyis talented.” Fine-arts training
was abolished in favour of “designing the whole man.” Fleeing from
Nazi Germany in 1935, he went to London and then in 1937 organized
and headed in Chicago the New Bauhaus (later the Institute of Design
of the Illinois Institute of Technology), the first American school
based on the Bauhaus program. |
