Souvent citée par les historiens du Mouvement Moderne et comparée à juste titre à celle du Bauhaus allemand, l’histoire des Vhutemas reste malgré tout mal connue. L’enseignement qui y fut dispensé, la personnalité vitalité du patrimoine artistique légué par les Vhutemas, en font un des fleurons de l’histoire de l’art mondial.

Résumé:
Between 1929 and 1943, an outstanding new lifestyle magazine called Die Neue Linie (“The New Line”) was published by Beyer Press in Leipzig. No other publication in this period was so consistent in bringing avant-garde typographic ideas to a mass audience, as leading graphic designers from the Bauhaus, including László Moholy-Nagy, Umbo and Herbert Bayer, steered the look of the magazine, whose contents combined fashion, literature, graphic design and art. Unembellished fonts, dynamic diagonals and dramatic use of photomontage were key to the journal's striking appearance. Its authors included Walter Gropius, Aldous Huxley, Gottfried Benn and Thomas Mann. The Bauhaus at the Newsstand illustrates the turbulent times in which the magazine appeared, reproducing spreads, statements, articles, a visual checklist of every issue and analyses of the magazine's delicate balancing act between modernism and conformity.
