He studied with Laszlo Maholy-Nagy in the 1930s before emigrating to the United States to help found the New Bauhaus. From 1946 until retirement, Kepes was a professor of visual design at MIT. In 1967, he founded the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) that researched the use of lasers, plasma sculptures, sky art, and hologrpahy as tools of expression. Kepes' paintings are in 30 permanent collections, including the Brooklyn Museum, the Corcoran Gallery, and the Whitney Museum. <I>Doubts</B></I> is an example where Kepes mixed sand with paint to create a texture on the canvas.
