Bauhaus, on a daily basis

Barbican Centre, London

400 objects and documents


sintesi del comunicato stampa

It is undoubtedly one of the founding movements of modernity and the Barbican's presentation is very ambitious, with 400 objects and documents that sythesize the contribution by Bauhaus during fifteen tumultuous years, from its foundation at Weimar in 1919 to its closing in 1933, in Berlin, under Nazi pressure. Of course there is Wassily's armchair that Marcel Breuer designed after observing his bicycle and putting together nine unmountable steel tubes. There are also different manifestos by Gropius the founder, a work by Moholy-Nagy after putting orders through over the phone, thus obeying to one of the school's mottos, the merge of art and industry . There is also a painting, Gifts for J., where Paul Klee expresses his gratitude to his students who had litterally covered him with airborne gifts for his 50th birthday.
