László Moholy-Nagy
László Moholy-Nagy (; ; born
László Weisz; July 20, 1895 – November 24, 1946) was a
Hungarian painter and photographer as well as a professor in the
Bauhaus school. He was highly influenced by
constructivism and a strong advocate of the integration of technology and industry into the arts. The art critic
Peter Schjeldahl called him "relentlessly experimental" because of his pioneering work in painting, drawing, photography, collage, sculpture, film, theater, and writing.
He also worked collaboratively with other artists, including his first wife
Lucia Moholy,
Walter Gropius,
Marcel Breuer, and
Herbert Bayer. His largest accomplishment may be the School of Design in Chicago, which survives today as part of the
Illinois Institute of Technology, which art historian Elizabeth Siegel called "his overarching work of art". He also wrote books and articles advocating a utopian type of high modernism.
