László MOHOLY-NAGY is a multimedia artist who has been active in many areas of visual arts including painting, photography, sculpture, performing arts, film, architecture, typography, interior design, and book design. MOHOLY-NAGY studied law at the University of Budapest in 1914, but with the outbreak of World War I, he suspended his studies and served as an artillery officer. When he was injured and hospitalized, MOHOLY-NAGY spent much of this time in convalescence on creative endeavors such as writing poetry, drawing, and painting. After his discharge from the military, MOHOLY-NAGY began his career as an artist by submitting his poems and artworks to Hungarian literary publications and salon exhibitions. MOHOLY-NAGY became a full-time artist in 1918 before settling in Berlin two years later. By then, his practice had become fixated with the geometric style of art.
