László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1946) was a Hungarian painter, photographer and Bauhaus teacher who later founded the New Bauhaus in Chicago. His Light Prop for an Electric Stage (1930) anticipates kinetic and light art.
With Bernd and Hilla Becher, I shared little more than roughly the same year of birth. But our art and our teaching followed historically opposing photographic paths: they referred back to Albert Renger-Patzsch, whereas I followed the traces of Heinz Hajek-Halke and László Moholy-Nagy.
