The Bauhaus, the school of art and design founded in Germany in
1919 and shut down by the Nazis in 1933, brought together artists,
architects and designers--among them Anni and Josef Albers, Herbert
Bayer, Marcel Breuer, Lyonel Feininger, Walter Gropius, Johannes
Itten, Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Lilly
Reich, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta Stolzl--in an extraordinary
conversation on the nature of art in the industrial age. Aiming to
rethink the form of modern life, the Bauhaus became the site of a
dazzling array of experiments in the visual arts that have
profoundly shaped the world today. "Bauhaus 1919-1933: Workshops
for Modernity," published to accompany a major multimedia
exhibition, is The Museum of Modern Art's first comprehensive
treatment of the subject since its famous Bauhaus exhibition of
1938, and offers a new generational perspective on the twentieth
century's most influential experiment in artistic education.
Organized in collaboration with the three major Bauhaus collections
in Germany (the Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin, the Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau
and the Klassic Stiftung Weimar), "Bauhaus 1919-1933" examines the
extraordinarily broad spectrum of the school's products, including
industrial design, furniture, architecture, graphics, photography,
textiles, ceramics, theater and costume design, painting and
sculpture. Many of the objects discussed and illustrated here have
rarely if ever been seen or published outside Germany. Featuring
approximately 400 color plates, richly complemented by documentary
images, "Bauhaus 1919-1933" includes two overarching essays by the
exhibition's curators, Barry Bergdoll and Leah Dickerman, that
present new perspectives on the Bauhaus. Shorter essays by more
than 20 leading scholars apply contemporary viewpoints to 30 key
Bauhaus objects, and an illustrated narrative chronology provides a
dynamic glimpse of the Bauhaus' lived history.
