BAUHAUS: ART AS LIFE
OUTLINE
From expressionist beginnings to a pioneering model uniting art and technology, this catalogue explores the Bauhaus utopian vision to change society in the aftermath of the First World War. Bauhaus: Art as Life presents the diverse artistic production that made up its turbulent fourteen-year history and delves into the subjects at the heart of the school: art, culture, life, politics and society, and the changing technology of the age.
REVIEWS
Not only do we follow the rise and fall of the school against a backdrop of Germany's hyperinflation and the rise of Nazism but it is also a reminder what art schools could be like. There is a lesson here about much contemporary art education: the lack of common purpose, the overweening bureaucracy, the disillusionment and grasping for fees, the box-ticking lostness of so much of it. The Bauhaus had a sense of common purpose and shared ideas, of arguments that meant something, of making things up as you go along. - the Guardian.
