Summary/Abstract: László Moholy-Nagy is well-known for his appreciation of technology and the use of technical media as new means of artistic creation. Less attention was given to the holistic and vitalist ideas expressed in his writings and pedagogical practice at the Bauhaus. The text proposes a contextual reading of the artist’s conceptions, tracing his engagement in Lebensreform movement – the modernist movement of the “organic” reform of live, and his connections with Raoul Heinrich Francé, the Austro-Hungarian biologist and popular scientific writer, who argued for the „organic” development of technology.
