Imens i livet hos László Moholy-Nagy
Hele livet1934
Leaves Nazi Germany for Amsterdam
After the Nazis came to power in 1933, Moholy-Nagy, as a foreign citizen, was no longer allowed to work in Germany. In 1934 he emigrated to Amsterdam and worked in the Netherlands, mostly on commercial jobs.
1935
London: the Isokon and a dream of an English Bauhaus
In 1935 Moholy-Nagy moved with his family to London and joined the circle of émigré artists and intellectuals in Hampstead: he lived for eight months with Walter Gropius in the Isokon building, then settled in Golders Green. He and Gropius planned an English Bauhaus but could not secure backing, and the Royal College of Art turned him down for a teaching post.

1937
Director of the New Bauhaus in Chicago
On Walter Gropius's recommendation and at the invitation of Walter Paepcke, chairman of the Container Corporation of America, Moholy-Nagy moved to Chicago as founding director of the New Bauhaus. The school's philosophy was unchanged from the original, and it was housed in the Prairie Avenue mansion Richard Morris Hunt had designed for the department-store magnate Marshall Field.

Works in the “Degenerate Art” exhibition
Nazi Germany included Moholy-Nagy's works in its infamous propaganda exhibition “Degenerate Art” in Munich.
