A Bauhaus Chronicle
An inside look at the Bauhaus from the perspective of a New Woman: The diary of Ise Gropius, wife of the Bauhaus founder and director Walter Gropius, offers unique insights into the most important avant-garde school of the 20th century. Private moments and previously unknown facts make this book an indispensable source on the Bauhaus from 1924 to 1928.
Illustrated with photographs from private albums.
The private diary of Ise Gropius covers the period of the Bauhaus relocation from Weimar to Dessau and the establishment of the school at the new site from September 1924 to April 1928. It provides previously unknown information about the school's protagonists and the connections of the Gropius couple to the international avant-garde—a "Who’s Who" of the young Weimar Republic. As a valuable contemporary document, it offers insights into the opening of the legendary Bauhaus building and the Masters' Houses, the celebrations at the school, the exhibitions held there, as well as the political and artistic debates.
