Description
Primarily known for his work in abstract expressionism, Myron Kozman (1916-2002) received his degree from the Chicago School of Design in 1941, and was in the school's first graduating class. Founded by Bauhaus artist Lazlo Moholy Nagy, the Chicago School of Design had a strong focus in industry and craftsmanship. The Bauhaus movement was committed to merging visual aesthetics with everyday practicality; its founders believed that with a focus on intelligent design, artistic ideals could be productively applied to a variety of industrially produced items. Thus Kozman's education was infused with the both the philosophies of the Bauhaus movement and Moholy-Nagy's own experimentalism. As Kozman's close friend and mentor, Moholy-Nagy encouraged Kozman's interest in avant-garde techniques such as cameraless photography (the dripping of emulsion on photographic paper) and serigraph printing. During the late 1930s, Kozman also produced several abstract paintings for the Works Progress Administration which were displayed in public venues across the city.
