Published in a new edition, this book offers an introduction to
Bauhaus, one of the most influential movements in modern architecture,
art, and design.
Founded by Walter Gropius in 1919, the Bauhaus School had an enormous
impact on the arts and everyday life. Fifty of the most representative
pieces of Bauhaus art and design are presented here in illuminating and
engrossing two-page spreads. This book selects the artists, buildings,
furniture pieces, theatrical productions, toys, and textiles that
epitomize the Bauhaus ideal of uniting form and function. Artists such
as Josef Albers, László Moholy-Nagy, Wassily Kandinsky, and Joost
Schmidt are featured along with lesser-known but equally important
designers and artists. Anyone interested in the history and
accomplishments of the Bauhaus will find much to learn and enjoy in this
unique compilation that reveals the movement's range as well as its
influence on today's artistic practices.
