Bauhaus
“Bauhaus” means “Building House” in German, and it was the name of a prominent art school in Germany that operated from 1919 to 1933. It was created by Walter Gropius, an architect whose aim was to combine arts, crafts, and technology under a single umbrella in modernistic design philosophy. This blend of crafts encouraged the ideals of functionalism, minimum basic form, and maximum form, achieving dedication to an aesthetic of supremacy to all corners.
In the late 1920s and early 1930s when wholly new ideas began to emerge that flatly opposed traditional art, Art schools were quite popular with the name “Bauhaus” among the public. Major landmarks include the founding of the Bauhaus Manifesto in 1919, which came up with rules for the merger of art and technology to benefit people.
The most influential artists of the school Bauhaus include Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Marcel Breuer. These artists actively shaped the style of Bauhaus, characterized by geometric shapes, primary coloration, and streamlined form.
To conclude, Bauhaus as an artistic movement is infra-dig in design history as an artistic movement and it is relevance transcends the time period that it operated. However, even today, it continues to motivate modern craftsmen, builders, and, artists who strive to fuse differently, art into everyday life.
