Yes, thank you, The Bauhaus.
‘twas a very interesting exhibit. My cuz, with whom I go to the museums, is a professor of art at a college up in New England, so I get quite the guided tour when I go with her. She had a lot of info about the bauhaus.
The Bauhaus were pioneers in unifying design across all disciplines. The school was relocated three times, with the focus changing to some extend with each move. Early Bauhaus produced notable pottery. There was a focus on architecture and furniture throughout the Bauhaus era, up to 1933 when the Nazis tried to coopt their graphic design program, met resistance from the leading designers, and the school was closed.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was one of the better known leaders of the Bauhaus, the last director of it in fact, who fled Germany and established himself in the US. His name is associated with many noted buildings such as the Seagram Building, and many fine pieces of furniture regarded as especially masterful works of modernism that are still in production today.
