Albers and Moholy-Nagy: From the Bauhaus to the New World

The Telegraph runs an article today on pioneers of modernism, Josef Albers and László Moholy-Nagy, to coincide with the Tate Modern’s exhibition opening on 9 March.

Mark Hudson’s excellent piece “When the sky was the limit” tells the tale of the influence of the Bauhaus on the development of the city of Chicago in the early 20th century and the artists’ respective roles in the USA during this period.

Discussing Moholy-Nagy’s life and work, Hudson recounts the story of how the artist moved from one discipline to another during his career and his legacy that pervades the cityscape of this major American city.
