Abstract
An intrinsic part of modernism's project was the attempt to accomodate the visual arts to science and modern technology. Two Bauhaus artists, the German abstract painter Josef Albers and the Hungarian teacher Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, contributed significantly to this project. Albers, who began as a student at the Bauhaus in 1920, went on to become a professor there in 1925. With the Bauhaus's closure in 1933, he left Germany and took a teaching position at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. Moholy-Nagy, who had replaced Johannes Itten at the Bauhaus in 1923, resigned with Walter Gropius in 1928. In 1937, after living in Berlin and London, he was invited to Chicago to establish the New Bauhaus, which soon after became the School of Design. Another Hungarian artist-designer, Gyorgy Kepes, lived in Berlin and London at the same time as Moholy-Nagy. On Moholy-Nagy's invitation, Kepes left London for Chicago to teach at the New Bauhaus, continuing on when it became the School of Design.
