It turned the way the world looked at design completely on its head.<\/p>\n<p>Bauhaus sought to combine the fine arts with crafts by closing the schism between art and industry. Before this school of design and design philosophy came into being, things we term \u201cfine arts,\u201d such as design and architecture, were routinely held in higher regard than craftsmanship. Craftsmanship includes disciplines like painting or woodworking. As a result, a broad variety of visual arts came under the Bauhaus design banner and were merged with workmanship to create a utopian design philosophy based on celebrating the aesthetic with the practical.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Today, almost 100 years after its inception, the <span data-color=\"var(--orange-10)\">Bauhaus movement<\/span> still remains a highly influential force in design and beyond. It shares the tenets of the German school of design with the entire world and demonstrates what&#8217;s possible when designers combine <a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/minimalism-vs-ornament-is-either-more-relevant\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">minimalism<\/a> and mass production. Its legacy is seen in everything from glorious typefaces and web designs to buildings and essential design principles.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_History_of_the_Bauhaus_Movement\"><\/span><strong>The History of the Bauhaus Movement <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although it started off as a school, the Bauhaus movement eventually morphed into its own modern art movement characterized by a unique approach to architecture, furniture, fine art, and industrial design.

The Bauhaus school was actually a result of the integration of two other German schools \u2013 the Grand-Ducal Saxon Academy of Fine Art and the Grand Ducal Saxon School of Arts and Crafts.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Though it was only in operation from 1919 to 1933, the <span data-color=\"var(--orange-10)\">Bauhaus school&#8217;s <\/span>short existence belies the far-reaching impact this design philosophy has had on the rest of the world in the several decades since.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48679\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2018\/01\/17013020\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-16-at-6.37.20-PM.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"678\" height=\"464\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\">Founded by the German architect Walter Gropius, who was widely seen as one of the trailblazing members of modernist architecture, the Bauhaus school literally translates to <em>construction house<\/em>. This can be confusing since the actual school didn&#8217;t even have an architecture department in its early years, but would go on to profoundly influence modern design, modernist architecture, art, and architectural and design instruction, nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of its short life, the <span data-color=\"var(--orange-10)\">Bauhaus <\/span>school and its design philosophy existed in the following cities and periods:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Weimar (1919 to 1925)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Dessau (1925 to 1932)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Berlin (1932 to 1933)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\">The school was forced to close under intimidation from the Nazi regime, with its directors and staff being forced to leave Germany and emigrate to various countries all over the world. This dispersion of its faculty was actually a significant factor in helping to spread the Bauhaus design aesthetic worldwide.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_First_Period_Weimar_1919_to_1925\"><\/span><strong>The First Period: Weimar (1919 to 1925)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In 1919, the Bauhaus school opened its doors with Walter Gropius as its first director. His stated objective was to spearhead a <span data-color=\"var(--orange-10)\">modern <\/span>design movement free of the class barriers that put up walls between artists and craftsmen. In its early years of operation, its faculty was a veritable who&#8217;s who of pioneering European artists:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Johannes Itten<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Swiss designer and expressionist painter<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lyonel Feininger<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c German-American painter and Expressionism advocate<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gerhard Marcks<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c German sculptor and artist<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oskar Schlemmer<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c German designer, painter, sculptor and choreographer<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paul Klee<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Swiss painter and artist known for Cubism, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/get-lost-in-these-surreal-gifs\">Surrealism<\/a>, and Expressionism<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wassily Kandinsky<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Russian art theorist and painter, the pioneer of abstract art<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Each of these Bauhaus contemporaries brought something unique to the school. For instance, Oskar Schlemmer, the school&#8217;s director of theater activities, was known for focusing all his artwork on the human body. His most famous work, <em>The Triadic Ballet, <\/em>which saw dancers transformed into kinetic sculptures through geometric shapes, was one of the reasons he earned such an esteemed position in the school.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Klee, on the other hand, brought his fascination with the art and artistic process of non-Western cultures and a peculiar scientific approach to abstract painting to the Bauhaus students. Similarly, Wassily Kandinsky focused on abstract shapes and lines, forgetting all about representational art forms.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">In <span data-color=\"var(--orange-10)\">the first three years of the existence of the Bauhaus school, <\/span>Johannes Itten steered the course for much of the Bauhaus curriculum, which was shaped by his admiration of expressionism. His preliminary course was a student&#8217;s first contact with the Bauhaus philosophy. <br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48678\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2018\/01\/17013026\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-16-at-6.33.59-PM.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"678\" height=\"689\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">After Itten, Hungarian designer and painter Laszlo Moholy-Nagy took over, and he shifted the Bauhaus introductory course to favor New Objectivity (read: modern architecture) that was also near and dear to Walter Gropius. This change was important because it crystallized Gropius&#8217;s view at the school, which was to adapt architecture to fit the early 20th century&#8217;s rise of cars, radios, and machines.<\/p>\n<p>At this time, the school also issued its own magazine called, appropriately, <em>Bauhaus<\/em>, and book series called <em>Bauhausb\u00fccher<\/em>. As 1925 approached, the Weimar school was being pressured by the local government to the point that its funding was eventually cut by 50%. As a result, Bauhaus moved to Dessau.<\/p>\n<h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Second_Period_Dessau_1925_to_1932\"><\/span><strong>The Second Period: Dessau (1925 to 1932)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At Dessau, the design of the new Bauhaus building shared many similarities to the International Style of architecture, which was characterized by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Focusing on volume over mass<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Using mass-produced and lightweight materials<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Consistent modular forms<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>A rejection of all color and ornaments<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Using flat surfaces that alternate with glass<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Featuring simple geometric forms, such as circles, squares, and triangles<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">At this location, Walter Gropius founded its new Bauhaus architecture program and resigned as director to make way for the Swiss architect Hannes Meyer.<\/p>\n<p>Under Hannes Meyer, the school experienced a few milestones, namely the construction of the ADGB Trade Union School according to Bauhaus design and five apartment buildings in Dessau. For the first time in its history, the school also turned a profit. Unfortunately, the Nazis gained control of the Dessau city council by 1931, which forced the school to move to yet another location.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Third_Period_Berlin_1932_to_1933\"><\/span>The Third Period: Berlin (1932 to 1933)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">This was the shortest iteration of the Bauhaus school during its already short existence, but it also paved the way for Bauhaus design&#8217;s expansion well beyond the German borders. <span data-color=\"var(--orange-10)\">This marked an important shift for the Bauhaus movement and Bauhaus artists as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Shortly before the move, the German-American architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe became the school&#8217;s new director. In Berlin in late 1932, he opened the third iteration of Bauhaus in an abandoned factory, whose rent he paid with his own money.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, the Bauhaus architecture became the key focus of the curriculum. In addition, new departments were launched, including interior design, weaving, fine arts, photography, and building.<\/p>\n<p>The Berlin school lasted only for 10 months before it was closed under pressure from the Nazi regime that was gaining power.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48682\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2018\/01\/17013031\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-16-at-6.41.25-PM.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"630\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">To the Nazis, Bauhaus design was \u201cun-German\u201d due to its modernist style, as well as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Degenerate_art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">degenerate art<\/a>\u201d because of its perceived Jewish or Communist associations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"After_Bauhaus\"><\/span>After Bauhaus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">In April 1933, the <span data-color=\"var(--orange-10)\">Bauhaus<\/span> school shut down for good due to this persecution. However, this prompted many of the Bauhaus artists, such as <span data-color=\"var(--orange-10)\">Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer, and Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe<\/span>, to emigrate to countries like Switzerland, Britain, Mexico and the U.S. Thanks to their flight from the Nazis, Bauhaus design traditions lived on and proliferated in various continents.<\/p>\n<p>The immediate effects of this Bauhaus movement could be primarily seen in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Walter Gropius relocated there and started teaching at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. He was a key figure in introducing the International Style architecture to the U.S. and the Anglophone world in general.\u00a0Mies van der Rohe also moved to the U.S., becoming Director of the College of Architecture, Planning, and Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology. As for Josef Albers, who had taught at Bauhaus Berlin, he was appointed the head of the painting program at the legendary\u00a0Black Mountain College\u00a0in North Carolina.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Characteristics_of_the_Bauhaus_Style\"><\/span><strong>Characteristics of the Bauhaus Style<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The answer to the question, \u201cWhat is the Bauhaus design movement?\u201d can be best seen in its philosophy. The design philosophy of Bauhaus is <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Form_follows_function\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>form follows functio<\/em>n<\/a>. This is a clue as to how products designed in the Bauhaus aesthetic will look. In other words, Bauhaus is based on a no-frills, no-gimmicks approach that favors utility over show.<\/p>\n<p>This philosophy can be very prominently seen in areas where Bauhaus has had a major impact: modern furniture design and architecture. When you look at a chair or a building made in the mold of Bauhaus, you immediately notice a stark bluntness to it, with sharp corners and edges and strong lines. Because of this bare-bones approach, Bauhaus design was indeed somewhat shocking to people in the early 20th century, given the then-radical design departures from the norm.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48683\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2018\/01\/17013036\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-16-at-6.42.31-PM.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"738\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Qualities of Bauhaus design usually include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Plainness<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/simplicity-in-web-and-graphic-design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Straightforward simplicity<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Being conducive to mass production<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Retaining the integrity of craft materials (as in materials should be used in their honest and natural form and not altered)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Streamlined aesthetics<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Modernity<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bauhaus, therefore, favors pragmatism and practicality in design over beauty for the mere sake of beauty. That&#8217;s not to say, though, that Bauhaus can&#8217;t be visually attractive. When you read on, you&#8217;ll further see the visual appeal in some of its starkly minimalist designs.<\/p>\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Noteworthy_Examples_of_Bauhaus_Design\"><\/span><strong>Noteworthy Examples of Bauhaus Design<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bauhaus has heavily influenced various industries, from graphic design and architecture to typography and furniture. Take a look at some of the world&#8217;s best examples of this school of design.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Art\"><\/span>Art<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most of the original Bauhaus artists started off as painters. Here are some of their most notable works.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Red_Balloon\"><\/span>Red Balloon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The 1922 painting by Paul Klee is composed solely of translucent geometric shapes \u2013 squares, rectangles, and domes \u2013 in primary colors. The titular red balloon is seen floating in the upper center, adding a whimsical touch to the abstract cityscape below.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yellow-Red-Blue\"><\/span>Yellow-Red-Blue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Another masterpiece in the Bauhaus art history is <em>Yellow-Red-Blue <\/em>by Wassily Kandinsky, created in 1925. This painting is an intricate blend of geometric forms and vibrant colors, with overlapping shapes and lines creating a dynamic, harmonious composition.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wall_Hanging\"><\/span>Wall Hanging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A unique entry on this list, <em>Wall Hanging<\/em> by Anni Albers, a textile artist, is a notable work from 1926. The piece features a blend of geometric patterns and rich textures, highlighting her mastery of weaving techniques and her ability to merge art with functional design.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Homage_to_the_Square_DissolvingVanishing\"><\/span>Homage to the Square: Dissolving\/Vanishing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Josef Albers&#8217;s <em>Homage to the Square: Dissolving\/Vanishing<\/em>. painted in 1951, is a striking example of his exploration of color interaction. The work features nested squares in varying shades, meticulously arranged to create the illusion of depth and movement. Albers&#8217;s precise use of color gradients demonstrates his profound understanding of visual perception and his commitment to the Bauhaus principles of simplicity and clarity.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Graphic_Design_%E2%80%93_The_Bauhaus_Design_Typography\"><\/span><strong>Graphic Design <\/strong>\u2013 The Bauhaus Design Typography<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to paintings, the Bauhaus artists often produced avant-garde collages and posters, as proven by the famous Bauhaus Exhibition Poster by Joost Schmidt. Given how impactful the Bauhaus poster design was, it shouldn&#8217;t be surprising that the Bauhaus movement heavily influenced the field of graphic design. Today, the Bauhaus emphasis on functionality can be best seen in typography. The following fonts should give you some graphic design inspiration straight from the Bauhaus movement.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bauhaus\"><\/span>Bauhaus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The namesake font of the Bauhaus design movement, Bauhaus font takes its inspiration from the experimental Universal font of Herbert Bayer from 1925.

The presence of many windows on the house&#8217;s fa\u00e7ade is another telltale sign of Bauhaus influence.<\/p>\n<h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Modern_Furniture\"><\/span><strong>Modern Furniture<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bauhaus design has produced many notable contributions to furniture design. Here are some of the most famous ones.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Cantilever_Chair\"><\/span><strong>The Cantilever Chair<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Not all products that were designed in the Bauhaus style in its early days were actually associated with the school of the same name. A perfect example is the cantilever chair.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48695\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2018\/01\/17013108\/Cantilever-Chair.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"676\" height=\"826\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Designed by Marcel Breuer, a Hungarian designer and architect, the chair isn&#8217;t propped up by the traditional arrangement of four legs. Instead, it&#8217;s supported by one continuous leg that&#8217;s fitted to one end of the seat of the chair and then molded into an L shape. As a result, the single leg also doubles as the base of the chair. This extremely common chair design is nearly ubiquitous today.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nesting_Tables\"><\/span><strong>Nesting Tables<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Nesting tables are Bauhaus&#8217; answer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Matryoshka_doll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Russian matryoshka doll<\/a>, where dolls of decreasing size are placed inside each other. With Josef Albers&#8217; nesting tables, you have the same concept\u2026except with tables of decreasing size neatly stacking under each other.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48697\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2018\/01\/17013113\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-16-at-6.59.47-PM.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"679\" height=\"766\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Josef Albers was the Bauhaus school&#8217;s furniture workshop&#8217;s artistic director for 1926 to 1927. While there, he designed these stacking tables as the epitome of space-saving minimalism. Their stark, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Matryoshka_doll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Russian matryoshka doll<\/a> also epitomize the foundational color scheme that would&#8217;ve been taught in the school&#8217;s preliminary course. Thanks to the \u201cform follows function\u201d philosophy of the school, nesting tables work together or independently. <span data-color=\"var(--orange-10)\">Talk about modern technology in its simplest form!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Wassily_Chair\"><\/span><strong>The Wassily Chair<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Marcel Breuer also designed the Wassily Chair <span data-color=\"var(--orange-10)\">(named for Wassily Kandinsky)<\/span>, another impressive feat of Bauhaus design.<\/p>\n<p>A striking piece of furniture, it features a tubular steel construction that gives it an unmistakable, evocative look. Chosen because of its lightness, the tubular steel frame means the chair only has two legs instead of the traditional four.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48698\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2018\/01\/17013119\/Wassily-Chair.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"679\" height=\"686\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Contributing to the chair&#8217;s simplicity is the choice of upholstery. Black leather straps, replacing the original fabric version, create the seating surface. One of the most popular chairs of the 20th century, the Wassily Chair is still mass-produced today by different manufacturers, sometimes under different names. This is just one of the many examples of how the Bauhaus ethos can be integrated into everyday life.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Web_Design\"><\/span><strong>Web Design<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bauhaus has even infiltrated the far reaches of the web with its indelible mark on <a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/evolution-of-web-design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">web design<\/a> in general.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_MET_Website\"><\/span><strong>The MET Website<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The Metropolitan Museum of Art&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/metmuseum.org\/toah\/hd\/bauh\/hd_bauh.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bauhaus Timeline of Art History webpage<\/a> features a slew of Bauhaus designs in its photography and colors.

As a result of this concentration of Bauhaus buildings, UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recognized the White City as a World Cultural Heritage site back in 2003. It proclaimed the stretch of land as a shining iteration of early 20th-century new-town planning and architecture.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Indelible_Design_Style\"><\/span><strong>An Indelible Design Style<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In its almost 100 years of existence, the Bauhaus movement has survived <em>a lot<\/em> of adversity and still thrived.
