Download or read book The Bauhaus Idea and Bauhaus Politics written by ?va Forg cs and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art historian Éva Forgács's book is an unusual take on the Bauhaus. She examines the school as shaped by the great forces of history as well as the personal dynamism of its faculty and students. The book focuses on the idea of the Bauhaus - the notion that the artist should be involved in the technological innovations of mechanization and mass production - rather than on its artefacts. Founded in 1919 by the architect Walter Gropius and closed down by the Nazis in 1933, the Bauhaus had to struggle through the years of Weimar Germany not only with its political foes but also with the often-diverging personal ambitions and concepts within its own ranks. It is the inner conflicts and their solutions, the continuous modification of the original Bauhaus idea by politics within and without, that make the history of the school and Forgács's account of it dramatic.
Download or read book Bauhaus Tel Aviv written by Nahoum Cohen and published by Ellipsis Arts. This book was released on 2001-06-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1930s the International Style was introduced into what was then Palestine by young immigrant architects, many of whom had trained at the Bauhaus and were escaping, with their families, from Nazism. The best-known was a late arrival, Erich Mendelsohn, who was working prolifically in Tel Aviv in the 1940s. Their fresh approach was swiftly accepted, displacing the orientalising, art-nouveau-influenced styles that had previously been attempted. The ideals of modernity found ready acceptance and the desire to build a new society, not influenced by older European traditions, caught on -- many thousands of Bauhaus-inspired designs were built in both Jewish and Arab cities. Tel Aviv was planned by Patrick Geddes as a 'Garden City'. This proved a particularly fertile context for the new designs using simple geometry, sitting on small, regular parcels of land. The buildings used reinforced concrete or simple plastered block construction and had open plans, roofs that provided liveable space, free elevations and strip windows. This guide provides an illustrated gazeteer to around one hundred of the best surviving Bauhaus buildings in the city, a collection that comprises one of the most developed examples of the modernist project.

Download or read book The Bauhaus written by Magdalena Droste and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a fleeting fourteen year period, sandwiched 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 to be applied across painting, sculpture, design, architecture, film, photography, textiles, ceramics, theatre, and installation. As much an intense personal community as a publicly minded collective, the Bauhaus was first founded by Walter Gropius (1883-1969), and counted Josef and Anni Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta St lzl, Marianne Brandt and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe among its members. Between its three successive locations in Weimar, Dessau and Berlin, the school fostered charismatic and creative exchange between teachers and students, all varied in their artistic styles and preferences, but united in their idealism and their interest in a "total" work of art across different practices and media. This book celebrates the adventurous innovation of the Bauhaus movement, both as a trailblazer in the development of modernism, and as a paradigm of art education, where an all-encompassing freedom of creative expression and cutting-edge ideas led to functional and beautiful creations.
