Frank Whitford将包豪斯(Bauhaus)置于其社会历史背景下,追溯了这所学校理念背后的思想并描述了其教学方法。他研究了教师的活动,其中包括Paul Klee,Josef Albers和Wassily Kandinsky等杰出的艺术家,以及学生的日常生活。关于这场有可能是过去一百年来最重要的设计运动,本书一直是最通俗易懂且插图丰富的入门书。
The aesthetic of our contemporary environment, including everything from housing developments to furniture and websites, is partly the result of a school of art and design founded in Germany in 1919, the Bauhaus. While in operation for only fourteen years before being shut down by the Nazis in 1933, the school left an indelible mark on design as well as the practice of art education throughout the world.
Placing the Bauhaus into its socio-historic context, Frank Whitford traces the ideas behind the school s conception and describes its teaching methods. He examines the activities of the teachers, who included artists as eminent as Paul Klee, Josef Albers and Wassily Kandinsky, and the daily lives of the students. This remains the most accessible and highly illustrated introduction to perhaps the most significant design movement of the last hundred years.
