Summary:
Founded by architect Walter Gropius (1883–1969) in 1919, the Bauhaus was the 20th century’s most influential school of art, architecture, and design. After the school was shuttered under pressure from the Nazis in 1933, many Bauhaus artists brought their innovative practices and teaching methods to the United States. Gropius himself accepted a position at Harvard, where he would help establish a collection of Bauhaus material that has since grown to more than 30,000 objects—the largest such collection outside Germany. Harvard in turn became an unofficial center for the Bauhaus in America. Written by established and emerging voices in the field, the scholarship presented here expands on the special link between the two institutions, while highlighting understudied aspects of the Bauhaus, such as weaving, photography, and art made by women. Accompanied by illustrations—some of never-before-published objects—this book yields fascinating insights for Bauhaus devotees and design aficionados.

Summary:
This lively and authoritative book explores the influence of the Bauhaus and modernism on typography and book design. Alan Bartram examines work by such key figures as Max Bill, F. T. Marinetti, El Lissitzky, László Moholy-Nagy, Jan Tschichold, and Paul Rand. All of the carefully chosen examples, some of which have not been previously reproduced, clearly demonstrate the modernist revolution that took place in graphic design. In an informative introductory essay, Bartram surveys the German art and design school known as the Bauhaus. Under Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus intended to create an academic, theoretical, and practical synthesis of all forms of visual expression, a marrying of art, architecture, industry, and design that had never been attempted before. Although the Bauhaus existed for only fourteen years, from 1920 to 1934, Bartram asserts that its philosophy influenced the appearance of almost every kind of modernist artifact throughout the twentieth century and continues to do so today.

Summary:
Fondateur et premier directeur de l’école du Bauhaus de 1919 à 1928, Walter Gropius fut un théoricien en même temps qu’un des meilleurs architectes modernes. Argan analyse l’oeuvre et, plus largement, la pensée de Gropius. Pour lui, la spécificité du Bauhaus tient à ce qu’il reflète la crise de la société allemande de l’entre-deux-guerres (et de toute la culture moderne) tout en se proposant comme un instrument de réforme artistique visant à créer un modèle social différent. Le caractère emblématique que la personnalité et l’oeuvre de Gropius prennent à travers les mots enthousiasmants de Argan naît de ce que design industriel, architecture et urbanisme sont unis et traversés par une même valeur civique. Plus d’un siècle après sa parution, cette puissante idée raisonne encore.
