Bauhaus Spirit 100 Years of Bauhaus

Founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius Bauhaus was supposed to unite sculpture painting design and architecture into a single combined constructive discipline It is a synthesis of liberated imagination and stringent structure crossmedial concepts that embellish and enrich our existence illumination and clarity order and playfulness But Bauhaus was never just an artistic experiment Confronted with the social conditions of that particular time as well as the experience of WWI the movement concerned itself with the political and social connotations of design from the very outset Hence Bauhaus history is not just the history of art but also the history of an era that stretches from the early 20th century to the modern day
