Im Leben von László Moholy-Nagy

Das ganze Leben
  1. 1920–1933 · Wohnort

    Berlin

  2. 1923

    Gropius brings him to the Bauhaus

    László took over Johannes Itten's role co-teaching the foundation course with Josef Albers and replaced Paul Klee as head of the metal workshop. This effectively ended the school's Expressionist leanings and moved it back towards its original aims of design and integration with industry. Other accounts count Albers among his students.

  3. 1924

    Meets Mayakovsky

    In 1924 Moholy-Nagy met Vladimir Mayakovsky and made several photographic portraits of him.

  4. 1925

    The book “Painting, Photography, Film”

    Published in the Bauhaus Books series, it is where Moholy-Nagy chose the word “photosculpture” for his photomontages and advanced the idea of “New Vision” — that the camera could show the world as the eye cannot. He was the first interwar artist to suggest using the telescope, microscope and radiography in art; in 1929 the book appeared in Moscow as “Painting or Photography”.

  5. 1927–1929

    Photography editor of “i 10”

    From 1927 to 1929 Moholy-Nagy was photography editor of the Dutch avant-garde magazine International Revue i 10.
