Description: 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 f r 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. Updated on the occasion of 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.
