Bauhaus

1919–1933 · 20th century

The Bauhaus was a German school of art, design and architecture founded by Walter Gropius at Weimar in 1919. It sought to unite crafts and fine arts and became a leading centre of modernist design, with teachers such as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and László Moholy-Nagy. It moved to Dessau in 1925, into a building designed by Gropius, and to Berlin in 1932, before closing under Nazi pressure in 1933.
