Bauhaus: Art and Industry – a New Unity

Bauhaus was a German art and architecture school founded in 1919 by architect Walter Gropius and was active until 1933 when it was closed by the Nazis. The innovative school operated at the intersection of art and craftsmanship and had a strong influence on modernist architecture, industrial design, and graphic design. Among the many artists who taught at the school were Wassily Kandinsky, Johannes Itten, and Paul Klee.

Bauhaus artists aimed to create functional and simple forms. They often used squares and clean lines in their works. The colors were often calm and harmonious, chosen based on specific color theories, with Itten's and Josef Albers' theories being the most famous.
