In a fleeting 14-year period between two world wars, Germany's
Bauhaus School of Art and Design changed the face of modernity.
With utopian ideas for the future, the school developed a
pioneering fusion of fine art, craftsmanship, and technology, which
they applied across media and practices from film to theater,
sculpture to ceramics. This book is made in collaboration with the
Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum fur Gestaltung in Berlin, the world's largest
collection on the history of the Bauhaus. Some 550 illustrations
including architectural plans, studies, photographs, sketches, and
models record not only the realized works but also the leading
principles and personalities of this idealistic creative community
through its three successive locations in Weimar, Dessau, and
Berlin. From informal shots of group gymnastics to drawings guided
by Paul Klee, from extensive architectural plans to an infinitely
sleek ashtray by Marianne Brandt, the collection brims with the
colors, materials, and geometries that made up the Bauhaus vision
of a "total" work of art. As we approach the Bauhaus centennial,
this is a defining account of its energy and rigor, not only as a
trailblazing movement in modernism but also as a paradigm of art
education, where creative expression and cutting-edge ideas led to
simultaneously functional and beautiful creations. Featured artists
include Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, Walter Gropius, Gertrud
Grunow, Paul Klee, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Lilly Reich.
