László Moholy-Nagy (born László Weisz — 1895 – November 24, 1946) was a Hungarian painter and photographer as well as a professor in the Bauhaus academy.
He was heavily influenced by constructivism and was a strong promoter of the integration of technology and industry into the arts.
He was dubbed "relentlessly experimental" by a New York Times column, including his first wife Lucia Moholy, drawing, photography, collage, film, theatre, and writing.
The School of Design in Chicago, which today stands as part of the Illinois Institute of Technology, is one of Art historian Elizabeth Siegel's most significant works of art.
He has written books and articles advocating for a utopian model of high modernism.
Early life and education (1895–1922)
Moholy-Nagy was born László Weisz in Bácsborsód (Hungary) to a Jewish family. Sir Georg Solti, his mother's second cousin, was the conductor. László was the middle child of three of the three living sons of the family, but Lipót Weisz's father took the family away quickly.
Gusztán Nagy, the remainder of the family, received safety and assistance from his maternal uncle. The uncle, a lawyer, sponsored László and his younger brother, kos. In turn, László took the name of his mentor in Magyar. After the name of the town of Mohol (now Serbia), where he spent part of his boyhood in the family's house nearby, he added "Moholy" to his surname later in the day.
In Szeged, Hungary's second-largest city, László attended a gymnasium school. He aspired to be a writer or poet, and in 1911, some of his poems were published in local daily newspapers. He studied law at the University of Budapest, beginning in 1913.
He enlisted in the Austro-Hungarian army as an artillery officer in 1915 during World War I. In addition, he made crayon sketches, watercolors, and journals to chronicle his wartime experiences. He was wounded on the Russian Front in 1917 and resurrects in Budapest. Moholy-Nagy became involved first with the journal Jelenkor ("The Present Age"), edited by Hevesy, and then with the "Activist" group around Lajos Kassy's journal Ma ("Today"), while on leave and convalescence.
He dropped his law studies and attended Róbert Berény's private art academy after being discharged from service in October 1918. He officially converted to the Hungarian Reformed Church in 1918; his godfather, Roman Catholic university acquaintance Iván Hevesy, was among his Roman Catholic university acquaintances. He was a promoter of the Hungarian Communist Republic who declared early in 1919, but he played no official role in it.
He migrated to Szeged after the Communist regime's demise in August. Before he left for Vienna around November 1919, an exhibition of his work was on display.
In 1920, Moholy-Nagy began moving to Berlin, where he first met photographer and writer Lucia Schulz; the couple married the following year.
Walter Gropius appeared in 1922 at a joint exhibition with fellow Hungarian Peter Laszlo Peri at Der Sturm. He and Lucia, who introduced him to making photograms on light-sensitized paper, spent the summer on the Rhone. He also began sketching plans for what would be his most well-known sculpture, the Light-Space Modulator.
