Geniuses and Total Work of Art: the most renowned art school of the modern age.
Between two world wars, in just 14 years, the Bauhaus transformed modernism. Guided by idealistic visions, the school of art and craft united art, handiwork, and technology, applying this all-encompassing idea to painting, sculpture, design, building, film, photography, cloth-making, pottery, theatre, and installations.
The artist group with outward influence was also a close-knit personal community. The school was founded by Walter Gropius (1883-1969), and its members included Josef and Anni Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta Stölzl, Marianne Brandt, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. At all three successive sites of the school in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin, there was a lively creative exchange between the students and teachers, who, although each nurtured different artistic styles and tastes, were united in their idealism and pursuit of a ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’ (total work of art).
This book honors the inventive power of the Bauhaus movement, which fueled modernism with its forward-thinking ideas and focused on broad freedom of artistic expression and the blending of use and beauty in art teaching.
