Influenced by constructivism and a strong advocate of the integration of technology and industry into the arts, the critic Peter Schjeldahl called him “relentlessly experimental” on account of his pioneering abstract and figurative work in painting, drawing, photography, collage, sculpture, film, theatre and writing.
He collaborated with other artists, including his first wife Lucia Moholy, who introduced him to making photograms on light-sensitised paper, Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Marcel Breuer and Herbert Bayer. His most notable accomplishment was the School of Design in Chicago, which survives today as part of the Illinois Institute of Technology.
