Die Krankheit unserer heutigen Städte und Siedlungen ist das traurige Resultat unseres Versagens, menschliche Grundbedürfnisse über wirtschaftliche und industrielle Forderungen zu stellen.
The disease of our cities and settlements today is the sad result of our failure to place basic human needs above economic and industrial demands.

The Bauhaus, 1919–1933
Tumblr media
Paul Klee (Swiss, 1879-1940) • Senecio or Head of a Man Going Senile • 1922 • Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland
“A drawing is simply a line going for a walk.“ – Paul Klee
The Bauhaus was founded in 1919 in the city of Weimar by German architect Walter Gropius (1883–1969). Its core objective was a radical concept: to reimagine the material world to reflect the unity of all the arts. Gropius explained this vision for a union of art and design in the Proclamation of the Bauhaus (1919), which described a utopian craft guild combining architecture, sculpture, and painting into a single creative expression. Gropius developed a craft-based curriculum that would turn out artisans and designers capable of creating useful and beautiful objects appropriate to this new system of living.

Annie Albers (German, 1899-1994) • Wall tapestry • Designed, 1925; woven, 1983
"Creating is the most intense excitement one can come to know." –Annie Albers
The Bauhaus was eventually closed under pressure from the Nazi regime, which branded the school, and modernism in general, as un-German.
