Laszlo Moholy-Nagy
László Moholy-Nagy ['la:slo: 'mohoj, nƣ] was born on July 20, 1895 in the small village of Borsod, in southern Hungary.
His childhood wasn't much of a fairytale, as his wealthy father abandoned the family when he was very young. In order to survive, László, his mother, and younger brother Ákos were taken to their uncle's home in Moholy, known today as Mol,in Serbia. (The Moholy-Nagy Foundation)
While László is referred to as one of the most influential artists of his time, sadly, he is vaguely remembered. Although he followed the Constructivist movement, László worked in so many different mediums that no single ac- complishment has come to be associated with his name. (The New York Times) in 1938. (Columbia Encyclopedia: László Moholy-Nagy)
Nevertheless, Moholy-Nagy was an extraordinarily idealistic man, who truly believed in his concepts of design and teaching, and worked very hard to fulfill his goals. (Biography: László Moholy-Nagy) László was also recognized for the key role and influence he played in 20th century art and design education; first at the Bauhaus in Germany and then later at the New Bauhaus and Institute of De- sign in Chicago, where he promoted the values of European Modernism. (Modern Design Dictionary) As an educator he developed a widely accepted curriculum that would enhance both students’ natural talents, as well as their specialized talents.
