A fresh look at the influential pedagogy and practice pioneered by the Bauhaus 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 beautiful illustrations-some of never-before-published objects-this book yields fascinating insights for Bauhaus devotees and design aficionados.

Seller's Description:
Near Fine. 0300254164. Photographic cloth cover is pristine. Boards and spine are straight. There is a binder's error in that the front decorative end sheet is missing and the front cover is therefore not affixed. The end sheet doesn't appear to have actually been removed because it is evident the front cover was never glued. The pages are solidly bound together in publisher's binding tape and affixed properly at the hinge of the back cover. It should be a solid book for use but looks more like the cover is a binder when you open it as a result. Pages are clean and pristine. Book has never been cracked open. Publisher's notes tipped-in at rear.
