Genius and total work of art
The most famous school of modern art
Between the two world wars, in just 14 years, the Bauhaus changed modernism. The school of art and design, guided by utopian ideals, brought together art, craft, and technology and applied this holistic concept to painting, sculpture, design, architecture, film, photography, textile design, ceramics, theatre, and installations.
The collective of artists with a strong external impact was at the same time a close personal community. The school was founded by Walter Gropius (1883–1969) and among its members were Josef and Anni Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta Stölzl, Marianne Brandt, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. In all three successive locations of the school in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin, there was a lively creative exchange between students and teachers, who, while cultivating different artistic styles and preferences, were united by their idealism and the pursuit of a “total work of art.”
This volume celebrates the innovative strength of the Bauhaus movement, which fueled modernism with its avant-garde ideas and focused artistic education on complete freedom of artistic expression and the combination of usefulness and beauty.
