The Modernest Muse
The Bauhaus, Weimar Germany’s iconic modernist school, which operated from 1919 to 1933, pioneered the integration of industry, science and design. This paper focuses on László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1946), one of the most prominent Bauhaus artists and pedagogues, who played a key role in formulating the Bauhaus philosophy. Moholy- Nagy had a particular enthusiasm for formalist photography and led and developed the Vorkurs (preliminary course), the cornerstone of Bauhaus pedagogy. While often characterized as a utopian rationalist in traditional art historical accounts, Moholy-Nagy’s photographic formalism and visual pedagogy, which he developed in Painting Photography Film (1925) , New Vision (1938) and Vision in Motion (1947) , are not pleas for rationalism; they reveal visionary insights into the mechanisms of visual perception and the features of creative cognition, such as disinterestedness, conceptual recombination, categorical reduction and play.
