MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Of all contemporary artists who have received world-wide recognition none is more versatile than L. Moholy-Nagy. Herbert Read, well known art editor of London says: 'As a painter, typographer, photographer, stage-designer and architect he is one of the most creative intelligences of our time.' Certainly, no one is better qualified to write this great book of our time, which may well become the blue-print for education through art. A pioneer-participant in the modern artistic and intellectual movements in Europe, Moholy presents in this, his latest book, the essence and summation of his philosophy upon which the educational program of the Institute of Design in Chicago is founded. In clear understandable language, devoid of unintelligible phrases, Moholy clarifies the relation of modern design, painting, literature, architecture, the cinema, science and industry. He makes the most thorough inquiry thus far attempted into the space-time reality of modern man and his emotional existence. A strong advocate of the interrelatedness of all human activities Moholy makes a passionate plea for the integration of contemporary art, technology, science and social plannings with life. In the belief that the most forceful statements are provided by illustrations the author amplifies his text lavishly with pictorial material, among the illustrations there is a large variety of media and subject matter such as industrial design and advertising art; contemporary painting including cubism and abstract art; photography, photograms, photomontages, collages and shots from motion pictures; sculpture, architecture etc. - all examples by the best exponents in the various fields. The book will furnish many readers with a contemporary thinking attitude toward art and life, and with a new insight into the reason for modern art. It is recommended for general reading without reservation."
