ARHI 182 SC - The Bauhaus
This course explores the Bauhaus, the renowned school of art, architecture, and design that was founded in Weimar, Germany, in 1919 (the same year as the Weimar Republic), relocated to the city of Dessau in 1925 and to Berlin in 1932, and closed in 1933. We will examine the school’s shifting artistic emphases, pedagogical programs, and political leanings in this tumultuous era under three directors—Walter Gropius (1919-27), Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1927-30), and Hannes Meyer (1930-33)—as well as the range of artistic disciplines it brought together, from painting, architecture, and photography to theater, weaving, and furniture and graphic design. In the process, we will examine the works and ideas of some of its masters and students, including Marianne Brandt, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, László Moholy-Nagy, Oskar Schlemmer, and Gunta Stölzl.
