   LÁSZLÓ MOHOLY-NAGY: Artist of the Future PART 2

   László Moholy-Nagy’s work is often associated with the Bauhaus years, photography, and the New Vision. Yet the second half of his life shows how far his ideas travelled beyond Dessau — and how they continued to evolve across different countries, media, and institutions. After leaving the Bauhaus, Moholy worked in Berlin as a freelance graphic and stage designer before the political situation in Germany forced him into exile. This second part of the bauhaus faces episode follows him first to the Netherlands, then to England, and finally to Chicago, where he became director of the New Bauhaus. At the centre of Moholy’s work remained a profound interest in light, movement, space, new materials, and human perception. He did not see art as separate from life, but as a way of preparing people for the modern world — for its technologies, its media, and its changing visual culture. This episode explores Moholy not only as a former Bauhaus master, but as an artist, educator, and thinker whose ideas helped bring Bauhaus principles into a new international context. The episode once again features conversations with Moholy’s grandsons, Daniel and Andreas Hug, and with the Canadian art historian Oliver Botar.

   LÁSZLÓ MOHOLY-NAGY: Artist of the Future

   László Moholy-Nagy is often associated above all with photography and the New Vision. Yet his work reaches far beyond this field. He was one of the great multimedia artists of the twentieth century — working with painting, photography, film, typography, stage design, land sculpture. At the centre of Moholy’s practice was a profound interest in education. He did not see art as something separate from life. His work explored how art could mediate between new technology and human experience — and how it might teach us to see, think, and live differently. This episode of bauhaus faces explores Moholy not only as the artist of the New Vision, but as an artist, educator, and thinker whose ideas helped shape modern visual culture. Because Moholy’s work is so vast and varied, this story will be told in two parts. Part 1 focuses on his family background, his path toward becoming an artist, his Bauhaus years, and his later period in Berlin. Part 2 follows him to the Netherlands, England, and finally Chicago, where he became director of the New Bauhaus and helped bring Bauhaus ideas into an international conversation about art, design, technology, and education. The episode features conversations with Moholy’s grandsons, Daniel and Andreas Hug, and with the Canadian art historian Oliver Botar. A bonus episode will accompany both parts, in which all three interview partners discuss selected works by Moholy — tracing his development from a young, self-taught painter to an internationally renowned artist and educator.
