How Bauhaus was shaped into greatness
A great article over at the International Herald Tribune:
There have been other great design schools, but none that matched the Bauhaus. Many of the most influential designers of the 20th century taught or studied there. Gropius and Mies van der Rohe in architecture. Marcel Breuer in furniture. Bayer in graphics. László Moholy-Nagy in film. Oskar Schlemmer in theater design. Anni Albers and Gunta Stölzl in textiles. Marianne Brandt and Wilhelm Wagenfeld in product design. The list goes on. Working alongside them were great artists like Paul Klee, Josef Albers and Wassily Kandinsky. Even today, some 75 years after the Bauhaus closed, our lives wouldn’t be the same without it.
