Hungarian Avantgarde Part II: Utopias

This paper presents the contribution of Hungarian artists working with space and architects to the Avant-Garde. Lajos Kassák contributed with his writings to the propagation of the Avant-Garde (like journals in other countries, ex. Contimporanul in Romania). Laszló Moholy-Nagy designed installations at Bauhaus inspiring numerous creations. Fred Forbát learned from the Bauhaus and designed the Siedlung Siemensstadt in Berlin with other Bauhaus architects. All these worked in exile after the Soviet Republic failed. Other names connected to creations related to Russian constructivism or De Stijl add to this. This was researched by the author by means of literature review, visit of exhibitions, looking at films and reading some of the interwar works in original. The contribution of Hungarian Avant-Garde to the spread of Bauhaus is notable and worth to be mentioned on occasion of the Bauhaus year 2019.
