For over half a century Herbert Bayer (1900-1985), one of the original masters of the Bauhaus, did pioneering work in all of the fine and applied arts. This is the first book to present a comprehensive survey of Bayer's enormous "oeuvre;" Arthur A. Cohen traces the development of Bayer's visual ideas across six decades and as many genres, proving that Bayer--more than any of his Bauhaus colleagues--produced an art that simultaneously expressed the needs of an industrial age and the impulse of the avant-garde.Bayer himself served as the art director of the hardcover edition of this elegantly produced volume.
