László Moholy-Nagy moved from Budapest to Berlin in 1920 with his wife, the artist Lucia Moholy. In 1923 he joined the Bauhaus in Weimar, where he initially co-taught the foundation course before becoming head of the metal workshop. Photography soon became central to his practice. Introduced to the medium by Lucia Moholy, he embraced experimental techniques to articulate the dynamism of modern urban life and developed the concept of a “New Vision,” aligned with broader modernist ideas of perception in the postwar era.
