The Story

Then radical Hungarian artist László Moholy-Nagy moved to Chicago in 1937. He superheaded "The New Bauhaus," a movement descended from the famous German school.

Featuring intimate interviews with Moholy-Nagy's daughter and an in-depth exploration of his groundbreaking work, The New Bauhaus offers an illuminating portrait of a visionary teacher and thinker
