The main character of this extraordinary graphic novel is not a
person but an idea-the school of Bauhaus, which arose in the wake
of World War I, and emerged as the fundamental reference point for
virtually every avant-garde artistic movement that followed.
Visually arresting illustrations and engaging texts place the
novel's protagonist squarely in the middle of the twentieth-century
debate on the relationship between technology and culture. The
novel is divided into three chapters that trace the evolution of
the Bauhaus, as its center moved across Germany-from Weimar to
Dessau to Berlin-and as its philosophy responded to this
economically, politically and intellectually highly charged era in
Europe. Sergio Varbella's inventive drawings bring to life the
theories of founder Walter Gropius, as well as the basic design
ideals of unity and equity. Valentina Grande's thoughtful texts
highlight crucial moments within the movement's history and in the
lives of principal figures such as Klee, Kandinsky, Albers, and
Mies van der Rohe. The perfect introduction to a radical but highly
influential chapter in the history of design, this novel shows how
the Bauhaus school broke down barriers and built up ideals that are
still applied today.
