The Bauhaus standard work | updated edition
In a brief period of just fourteen years between the two world wars, the German art and design school Bauhaus changed the face of modernism. With utopian ideals for the future, it developed a groundbreaking fusion of art, craft, and technology, which it implemented across all creative media and methods, from film to theater, from sculpture to pottery.
This book was created in collaboration with the Bauhaus Archive/Museum für Gestaltung in Berlin, the world's largest collection on the history of the Bauhaus. Writings, studies, photographs, sketches, plans, and models not only document the completed works, they also bring the spirit of Bauhaus back to life. From casual shots of group gymnastics to drawings from Paul Klee's class, from detailed construction plans to a sleek ashtray by Marianne Brandt—they are all testaments to an idealistic creative community determined to completely rethink design and shape a better future for modern people.
The book presents Bauhaus not only as a groundbreaking modernist movement, but also as a prime example of art education in which creative expression and forward-looking ideas led to products that were both beautiful and functional. The artists featured include Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, Walter Gropius, Gertrud Grunow, Paul Klee, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Lilly Reich.
