In 1919, the state art school in Weimar was reopened under the
direction of Walter Gropius, with a radical teaching approach and
under the new name Bauhaus. Four years passed before the first
exhibition took place, which conveyed a new approach to art to the
enthusiastic public and carried the school's ideas all over the
world. The catalogue Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar 1919-1923 was
published in 1923 to accompany this first public appearance. In
this interdisciplinary oeuvre catalogue, the idea and potential of
the Bauhaus found their way onto paper for the first time. In
addition to numerous project presentations, the theoretical
approaches of Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Gertrud Grunow
convey the teaching methods of the various workshops. Gropius'
preface traces the structure of the State Bauhaus and presents the
unique reformation approach that demands and teaches the unity of
technology and art. The illustrations from the various workshops
also show projects by students whose connection to the Bauhaus is
less known. With the original layout by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and the
cover designed by Herbert Bayer, the book is an important testimony
to that legendary avant-garde movement. This facsimile is
supplemented by a commentary that places this publication, rare and
long out of print, in a historical context and documents the
Bauhaus from its idea to its establishment as a renowned art and
design school. The German facsimile is accompanied by the first
full English translation of the catalogue, making it accessible to
an international audience.
