( fr ) László Moholy-Nagy, (July 20, 1895 - November 24, 1946) was a Hungarian painter and photographer as well as professor in the Bauhaus school. He was highly influenced by constructivism. He was a strong advocate of the integration of technology and industry into the arts. Moholy-Nagy was born Laszlo Weisz to a family of mixed Jewish and Hungarian heritage. He changed his German-Jewish surname to the Magyar surname of his uncle, Nagy. Later, he added the pseudonym 'Moholy' to his surname, after the town in which he grew up. After studying law in Budapest and serving in the World War I, Moholy-Nagy was in Vienna in 1919 where he first discovered constructivism in exhibitions of works of Malevich, Naum Gabo and El Lissitzky.
