The Bauhaus and America: First Contacts, 1919-1936

By Margret Kentgens-Craig

Book Overview

The Bauhaus school was founded in Weimar in 1919 by the German architect Walter Gropius, moved to Dessau in 1925 and to Berlin in 1932, and was dissolved in 1933 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe under political duress. Although it only existed for 14 years and boasted fewer than 1300 students, its influence is felt throughout the world in numerous buildings, artworks, objects, concepts and curricula.
