History of Bauhaus
The Bauhaus movement was active from 1919 to 1933. It was founded in Weimar, Germany, by architect Walter Gropius as an art school that aimed to bridge the gap between art, craftsmanship, and technology. The school went through various locations during its existence, including Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin.
The Bauhaus movement brought together artists, architects, designers, and craftsmen who sought to create a new and unified approach to design that combined aesthetics with functionality. They embraced modern materials, industrial techniques, and geometric forms, seeking to create designs that were simple, practical, and accessible to all.
Unfortunately, due to political pressure, the Bauhaus school was ultimately closed in 1933 by the Nazi regime. However, the ideas and principles of the Bauhaus movement continued to influence and shape design disciplines worldwide, leaving a lasting legacy in modern architecture, industrial design, graphic design, and typography.
The representation of abstract figures in Bauhaus art aimed to move away from the traditional emphasis on realistic depictions and instead focus on the expressive and symbolic qualities of form, colour, and composition.
These abstract figures often symbolized emotions, spiritual concepts, or represented the artists’ exploration of the relationship between art and the human experience.
