Piet Mondrian 1872-1944

He was a Dutch painter and follower of
the Bauhaus. HE was also an important
contributor to the De Stijl art movement
and group, which was founded by Theo
van Doesburg. He evolved a nonrepresentational form which he termed
Neo-Plasticism. This consisted of white
ground, upon which was painted a grid of
vertical and horizontal black lines and the
three primary colors.

Brush strokes are evident

throughout, although they are
subtle, and the artist appears to
have used different techniques for
the various elements. The black
lines are the flattest elements,
with the least amount of depth.
The colored forms have the most
obvious brush strokes, all running
in one direction.

Mondrians paintings of this

period came to be increasingly
dominated by white space.His art
and theory influenced
the Bauhaus movement and the
development of the International
style in architecture.

Lszl Moholy-Nagy 1895-1946

He was a Hungarian painter and photographer as well as a professor in the
Bauhaus school. He was highly influenced by constructivism and a strong
advocate of the integration of technology and industry into the arts.
From 1923 to 1928, Moholy-Nagy taught at the Bauhaus, His recruitment
to the faculty marked a turning point in the school's direction since he was
given control of the school's crucial preliminary course, or Vorkurs. Rather
than endorsing the individualism of Expressionist painting, he introduced a
new emphasis on the unity of art and technology. Moholy-Nagy's
gregarious disposition made him a natural teacher. He taught the metal
workshop, taking over from Paul Klee, which designed a line of lighting
fixtures under his direction that are still in use today.

Legacy
his use of modern materials and technology impressed other young
designers, including Charles Eames, who visited the New Bauhaus
while studying at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. Moholy-Nagy's
influence on photography is felt equally through his writings as
through his photographs and photomontages.
