How Gyorgy Kepes, the last disciple of Bauhaus modernism, became the single most significant artist within a network of scientific experts and elites.

Gyorgy Kepes (19062001) was the last disciple of Bauhaus modernism, an acolyte of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and a self-styled revolutionary artist. But by midcentury, transplanted to America, Kepes found he was trapped in the military-industrial-aesthetic complex. In this first book-length study of Kepes, John Blakinger argues that Kepes, by opening the research laboratory to the arts, established a new paradigm for creative practice: the artist as technocrat. First at Chicago's New Bauhaus and then for many years at MIT, Kepes pioneered interdisciplinary collaboration between the arts and scienceswhat he termed interthinking and interseeing. Kepes and his colleaguesranging from metallurgists to mathematiciansbecame part of an important but little-explored constellation: the Cold War avant-garde.

Blakinger traces Kepes's career in the United States through a series of episodes: Kepes's work with the military on camouflage techniques  his development of a visual design pedagogy, as seen in the exhibition The New Landscape and his book The New Landscape in Art and Science  his encyclopedic Vision + Value series  his unpublished magnum opus, the Light Book  the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS), an art-science research institute established by Kepes at MIT in 1967  and the Center's proposals for massive environmental installations that would animate the urban landscape. CAVS was entangled in the antiwar politics of the late 1960s, as many students and faculty protested MIT's partnerships with defense contractorssome of whom had ties to the Center. In attempting to undream the Bauhaus into existence in the postwar world, Kepes faced profound resistance.

Generously illustrated, drawing on the vast archive of Kepes's papers at Stanford and MIT's CAVS Special Collection, this book supplies a missing chapter in our understanding of midcentury modern and Cold War visual culture.
