art and design

 Moholy Nagy
Laxzio Moholy-Nagy was a Hungarian artist, a professor in the Bauhaus school. A painter and a photographer. The Bauhaus school is a very important place in the minds of designers.

Although it is hard to define art, it is not difficult to define its context: Exhibition spaces, galleries, museums, art magazines, art history, theory etc.

According to Experimental Jetset, a small independent graphic design firm in Amsterdam, striving toward a synthesis of art and design was quite an elementary characteristic of early modernism, possibly its most defining one. Moholy-Nagy and El Lissitzky were driven by the idea to unite art and the everyday , not as an added decorative layer but as something fully integrated into modern life.

Then there is Cy Twombly, influential friend of photographer Sally Mann.
