Bauhaus

Bauhaus was one of the most influential art schools of the 20th century, its approach to teaching and the understanding of arts relationships to society had a big impact in the US and Europe even after it closed. The school was first founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar and the school existed in three German cities: Weimar from 1919-1925, Dessau from 1925-1932 and Berlin from 1932-1933. It was shaped by the trends such as the arts and crafts movement. This led to it pictured as a medievalism sort of crafts guild. In the 1920s this gave way to a stress on uniting art and design, which ended up being its most original and important achievement. The school was also renowned for its staff, with artists like Paul Klee and Josef Albers to architects Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and designer Marcel Breuer.
