Summary

Designs of the time: The most famous art school of modernity In a fleeting fourteen year period， sandwiched between two world wars， Germany s Bauhaus school of art and design changed the face of modernity。 With utopian ideals for the future， the school developed apioneering fusion of fine art， craftsmanship， and technologyto be applied across painting， sculpture， design， architecture， film， photography， textiles， ceramics， theatre， and installation。As much an intense personal community as a publicly minded collective， the Bauhaus was first founded byWalter Gropius （1883 1969）， and countedJosef and Anni Albers， Wassily Kandinsky， Paul Klee， Oskar Schlemmer， Gunta Stolzl， Marianne BrandtandLudwig Mies van der Roheamong its members。 Between its three successive locations in Weimar， Dessau and Berlin， the school fosteredcharistmatic and creative exchangebetween teachers and students， all varied in their artistic styles and preferences， but united in their idealism and their interest in a total work of art across different practices and media。This book celebrates the adventurous innovation of the Bauhaus movement， both as atrailblazer in the development of modernism， and as aparadigm of art education， where an all-encompassing freedom of creative expression and cutting-edge ideas led to functional and beautiful creations。 About the Series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Architecture Series features: an introduction to the life and work of the architect the major works in chronological order information about the clients， architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and resolutions a list of all the selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most famous buildings approximately 120 illustrations （photographs， sketches， drafts and plans） "

A compendius look at the Bauhaus in all its manifestations， in Weimar， Dessau and Berlin from 1919 to 1933。 Lavishly illustrated this volume details the struggles both artistic and political experienced by the various directors of the school。 Most illuminating。

i came by this book purely by chance during the centenarian celebration of the bauhaus in 2019， when i was waiting for a friend in the lobby of a certain bank in downtown toronto。 having absolutely no exposure to art or art history， i was immediately hooked upon reading the introduction。 i was particularly amused by the sentence in the introduction， "the outbreak of the first world war was rapturously welcomed in germany with almost unanimous enthusiasm。 volunteers rushed to sign up。。。 while the i came by this book purely by chance during the centenarian celebration of the bauhaus in 2019， when i was waiting for a friend in the lobby of a certain bank in downtown toronto。 having absolutely no exposure to art or art history， i was immediately hooked upon reading the introduction。 i was particularly amused by the sentence in the introduction， "the outbreak of the first world war was rapturously welcomed in germany with almost unanimous enthusiasm。 volunteers rushed to sign up。。。 while the intellectuals hoped for spiritual renewal， often in the spirit of nietzsche， broad sections of the population shared the view of their kaiser， wilhelm ii， that germany would now have the chance to prove her world superiority once and for all"。having once studied the world wars in high school， i am aware that history textbooks in general tend to devote fewer pages to the world wars' effects on culture and art than social， political and economic consequences。 curiosity got the better of me and i bought a copy upon returning home。having no knowledge in art， i view this book primarily as a history of a remarkable educational institution which， for most of its existence， had survived through financial hardship。 what i enjoyed the most throughout the book was reading about the visionaries who made bauhaus prosper against financial and political challenges。 among the directors of bauhaus from 1919 to 1933， the chapters on hannes meyer was perhaps my favourite。the extensive illustrations in the book was another highlight。 in particular， some explanations of the art courses at the bauhaus showed that， at least at bauhaus， "art" was decomposed and abstracted into the most basic elements such as form， colour， and material。 to someone who has almost zero education in visual arts， this was highly interesting because it made complex creations of art somehow more tangible。 what i liked the most is the high levels of abstraction common in multiple courses。not surprisingly， there is limited mention of the underlying political atmosphere at the time， but from the end of hannes meyers' bauhaus， anyone who studied the history of weimar germany will get some short reminders of the turbulent years in germany before 1933。 indeed， to some extent， bauhaus serves as a viewpoint for the cultural agenda of the national socialists after their election victories。 。。。more

Ενδιαφέροντα κείμενα， ωραίες εικόνες， προσεγμένη έκδοση （γενικά）， μέτρια μετάφραση。 Κρίμα。

Katarina Kasalova ，

An interesting summary of the movement， I just wish it was translated better。

Alan Fricker ，

Interesting to compare with the other bauhaus book recently read （both gifts）。 The text is more serious and initially better but the translation seems to collapse as it goes on and it becomes a bit of a drag to read。

Brian Kovesci ，

A lovely overview of the school that brought me to DAAP。 Thank you， Bauhaus。
