Geniuses and total work of art
The most famous school of modern art
Between the two world wars, in just 14 years, the Bauhaus revolutionized modernism. Guided by utopian ideals, this school of art and design brought together art, craft, and technique, applying this holistic concept to painting, sculpture, design, architecture, film, photography, textile design, pottery, theatre, and installations.
This highly visible group of artists was also a very close-knit community. The school was founded by Walter Gropius (1883–1969) and included members such as Josef and Anni Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta Stölzl, Marianne Brandt, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. At the three successive locations of the school in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin, there was intense creative exchange between students and teachers, all of whom had different styles and artistic preferences but were united in their idealism and their quest for a “total work of art.”
This work celebrates the innovative strength of the Bauhaus movement, which fueled modernism with its avant-garde ideas and, in artistic teaching, relied on complete freedom of artistic expression and the combination of function and beauty.
