a tett

• The first issue of the journal A Tett is published in Budapest in 1915. Edited by writer and artist Lajos Kassák (1887-1967), A Tett is a forum for the avant-garde group Aktivismus, whose members include László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) and Béla Uitz (1887-1972). Inspired by the international avant-garde, particularly Expressionism and Constructivism, the Activists' revolutionary politics and cultural ideas attract official condemnation. When A Tett is banned for its socialist, antimilitarist stance, Kassák and Uitz found Ma to promote modernist art, international and Hungarian. In 1920, Ma is banned and Kassák moves to Vienna, where he continues to produce the journal for a Hungarian audience until 1926 [source: Timeline of Art History].
