He taught at the Bauhaus in Germany from 1923 to 1928 and after moving from London to Chicago in 1937, founded the New Bauhaus which continues today as the School of Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology.  He brought a spirit of experimentation to his work; in photography, he is especially known for his photograms and bird's eye views.
