STAATLICHES BAUHAUS IN WEIMAR 1919 - 1923 STA...

In 1919  the state art school in Weimar was re-opened under the direction of Walter Gropius 
with a radical new teaching approach and under the new name Bauhaus. Four years would go by
until the first exhibition  which presented a novel approach to art to an enthusiastic public
and spread the school's ideas throughout the world. The catalogue Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar
1919-1923 was published in 1923 to accompany this first public showcase. This catalogue of its
transdisciplinary oeuvre put the Bauhaus idea on paper for the first time and gave an idea of
its potential. Featuring numerous projects  the catalogue also describes the theoretical
doctrines of Paul Klee  Wassily Kandinsky  and Gertrud Grunow  and thus conveys the teaching
methods applied in the various workshops. Gropius's preface explains the structure of the
state-run Bauhaus and introduces its unique reform program  which called for and taught the
unity of technology and art. Illustrations from the various workshops show projects by students
whose connection with the Bauhaus is still largely unexplored today.With the original layout by
László Moholy-Nagy and a cover designed by Herbert Bayer  the book represents an important
testimony to the legendary avant-garde movement  shedding light on the work and aspirations of
the Bauhaus from its earliest days.The commentary accompanying this facsimile edition places
this momentous publication  long out of print  in a historical context  documenting the Bauhaus
from initial idea to the standing it would attain as a pre-eminent school of art and design.The
German facsimile is accompanied by the first full English translation of the catalogue  making
it accessible to an international audience.
