Incredible MoMa always builds a kind of a virtual gallery when they organize important exhibition, and although the Bauhaus: 1919-1933: Workshops for modernity event is over, one may bite into history of this famous and influential school via special site with timeline of the most important works. The site is a beautiful and well-organized journey into modernity.
Indeed, Bauhaus was the most influential school of avant-garde art, design and architecture. Founded 1919 by an architect Walter Gropius Bauhaus made its home in three German cities: Weimar, Dessau and Berlin, had three directors: Gropius, Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The Bauhaus brought together artists, architects, and designers in an extraordinary conversation about the nature of art in the age of technology. Aiming to rethink the very form of modern life, the Bauhaus became the site of a dazzling array of experiments in the visual arts that have profoundly shaped our visual world today. Other importane names of Bauhaus school include: Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, Marianne Brandt, Marcel Breuer, Lyonel Feininger, Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, László Moholy-Nagy, Lucia Moholy, Lilly Reich, Oskar Schlemmer, and Gunta Stölzl—but also a broad range of works by innovative but less well-known students, suggesting the collective nature of ideas.
