The Soviet Republic falls; flight to Vienna
László supported the Hungarian Soviet Republic, declared early in 1919, though he held no office in it. After its defeat in August he withdrew to Szeged, where an exhibition of his work was held, and around November 1919 he left for Vienna. Other accounts date his flight to Szeged to late 1919.

Summer on the Rhône: first photograms
On holiday with Lucia on the Rhône, László learned from her to make photograms on light-sensitive paper — photography became one of his main pursuits, with his wife at first his technical guide. That summer he also began sketching ideas for what would become the Light-Space Modulator.
1922
Show at Der Sturm; meeting Gropius
At a joint exhibition with his fellow Hungarian Peter Laszlo Peri at Der Sturm, László met Walter Gropius. Herwarth Walden showed his works alongside Peri's in 1922–1924.
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.
