The Bauhaus Group by David Weber
Six Masters of Modernism
A richly detailed narrative follows six leading figures of the Bauhaus movement as they create and reshape modern art, design, and architecture between World War I and the rise of Nazism, tracing their experimental teaching methods, workshops, collaborations, and rivalries across Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin. The book interweaves vivid biographies with the institution’s shifting aesthetics—from craftsmanship to industrial production—showing how personalities like Gropius, Kandinsky, Klee, Moholy-Nagy, Albers and Mies navigated ideological conflicts, political pressure, and exile. It emphasizes the school’s practical innovations and theoretical debates, and how the dispersal of its members exported Bauhaus principles worldwide, profoundly influencing 20th-century visual culture and design education.
