Few creative movements have been more influential than the Bauhaus,
under the leadership of Walter Gropius. The art of the theater
commanded special attention. The text in this volume is a loose
collection of essays by Oskar Schlemmer, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and
Farkas Molnar (who in an illustrated essay shares his vision of a
total theatre space), with an introduction by Bauhaus leader Walter
Gropius. Originally published in German in 1924, Die Buhne im
Bauhaus was translated by A. S. Wensinger and published by Wesleyan
in 1961. It was prepared with the full cooperation of Walter
Gropius and his introduction was written specially for this
edition. From Bauhaus experiments there emerged a new aesthetic of
stage design and presentation, a new concept of"total theater." Its
principles and practices, revolutionary in their time and far in
advance of all but the most experimental stagecraft today, were
largely the work of Oskar Schlemmer, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and their
students. Profusely illustrated and startling in its typography
(the work of Moholy-Nagy), the 1924 volume quickly became a
collector's item and is now virtually unobtainable. Those
interested in the stage, the modern visual arts, or in the bold
steps of the men of genius who broadened the horizons of aesthetic
experience will appreciate that this translation is available
again.
