Features: The art philosophy upheld by the Bauhaus Academy of Art, which is a highlight of the Modernist Movement, existed for only a brief 14 years from 1919 to 1933 before being closed by the Nazis. Among its distinguished graduates were highly influential architects and designers of the modern era, including Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius, and Marcel Breuer. The school's campus in Dessau was designed by Gropius and stands as a milestone not only in architecture but also in the art of modern theaters. Bauhaus set the standard for modernism while simultaneously revolutionizing the fields of architecture and design. Even after its closure by the Nazis in 1933, its profound influence continued. Its graduates also joined the migration to the American West, bringing their beliefs and ideas to the United States, leaving their mark in major cities such as New York and Chicago. Beyond its significant impact on architecture, Bauhaus also had a deep influence on industrial production and graphic design. This book features over 50 color and black-and-white images, showcasing Bauhaus at the peak of its modern architecture, art, and design.
