Bauhaus: 1919-1933

The school that changed everything. Founded in Germany in 1919, the Bauhaus was more than an art school—it was a radical experiment that reimagined the relationship between art, craft, and industry. Though it existed for just fourteen years, its influence continues to shape the objects we use, the buildings we inhabit, and the way we think about design itself. Filled with photographs, sketches, architectural plans, and iconic works from masters like Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and László Moholy-Nagy, this beautifully illustrated volume traces the history and enduring legacy of one of the most influential movements in modern design. A fascinating introduction to the ideas that continue to define the modern world.
