A Hungarian painter, photographer, and art teacher, László Moholy-Nagy moved to Berlin as a young man and became the head of the metal workshop at the Weimar Bauhaus, a progressive art and design school. He fled Nazi Germany in 1935, eventually settling in Chicago, where he headed the New Bauhaus and influenced a generation of artists. Known especially for his photograms and photographic theories, he was interested in teaching a new way of seeing.
