Bauhaus
In just fourteen years, a revolutionary school fundamentally redefined how we think about art, design, and everyday objects. This lavishly illustrated volume, created in collaboration with the Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin, presents over 575 images documenting the movement's complete journey through its three locations: Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin. From architectural blueprints to experimental theater designs, from sleek industrial products to abstract paintings, the book captures the school's bold vision of merging fine art with functional craftsmanship. You'll discover how visionaries like Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, and Marianne Brandt created a new visual language that still influences everything from smartphone design to contemporary furniture—all while navigating political pressures that ultimately forced the school's closure.
