Koln: Taschen GmbH, 2015. Book. Fine. Hardcover. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. 12 3/4" x 9 1/2", 256 pages, comprehensively illustrated in black and white and colour, biographies, bibliography. 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 ideals for the future, the school developed a pioneering fusion of fine art, craftsmanship, and technology which they applied across artistic media and practices, from film to theatre, sculpture to ceramics. This book is made in collaboration with the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung in Berlin, the world's largest collection on the history of the Bauhaus. Documents, studies, photographs, sketches, plans, 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 from a class taught by Paul Klee, from extensive architectural plans to an infinitely sleek ashtray by Marianne Brandt, the collection pulsates with the colours, materials, and geometries that made up the Bauhaus vision of a 'total' work of art. As we approach the school's centenary, this is a defining account of its energy and rigour, 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. Hb, fine in near fine dw. ., Taschen GmbH, 2015, 4.5<
