His dominant interest was teaching and he believed in the coming of a new art that would combine science and aesthetics to the advantage of both. A native of Hungary, he worked in Austria, Germany, England and the United States. Since his early student days in Budapest, Kepes constantly experimented and pioneered, hoping to discover a new and more functional vocabulary for the visual arts. In casting aside outworn traditions and cumbersome conventions, he helped to develop new possibilities for not only the advertising arts but also for the motion picture, photography and painting.
Kepes exhibited his work widely in Europe and the United States. He conducted courses in advertising design for the Art Directors Club in Chicago, and for six years was associated with the School of Design as head of the Light and Color departments. He taught at North Texas State Teachers College in Denton, at Brooklyn College, and was a member of the faculty of Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Giedion was the first secretary-general of the Congrès International d’Architecture Moderne, and taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University.
