Description
The Bauhaus: A Pioneering Fusion of Art and Technology Between 1919 and 1933, Germany's Bauhaus school of art and design had a profound impact on modernity. This influential movement merged fine art, craftsmanship, and technology to create a unique fusion of creative expression and cutting-edge ideas. The school's three successive locations in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin were hubs for artistic innovation, with leading figures such as Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, and Walter Gropius contributing to the movement. The Bauhaus movement's legacy is preserved in this comprehensive reference work, which features over 575 illustrations, including architectural plans, photographs, sketches, and models. The collection showcases the school's pioneering work in film, theater, sculpture, ceramics, and other media, as well as its emphasis on functional and beautiful design. This updated edition is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of modern art and design. With its extensive collection of images and information on the leading principles and personalities of the Bauhaus movement, this book provides a defining account of the school's energy and rigor.
