The series was intended to give insight into the teachings of the Bauhaus and the possibilities it offered for incorporating modern design into everyday aspects of an ever-more-modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst in the series was Gropius’ International Architecture, an overview of the modern architecture of the mid-1920s and an early attempt to articulate what would come to be known as International Style architecture. In a brief preface, Gropius summarized the guiding principles he identified uniting the avant-garde around the world. But the real thrust of the book is visual, with an extensive illustrated section showing buildings in Europe and the Americas. According to Gropius, these illustrations show the “development of a consistent worldview” that dispensed with the prior decorative role of architecture and expressed itself in a new language of exactitude, functionality and geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished for the first time in English, this new edition of the first of the Bauhausbücher is accompanied by a brief scholarly commentary. Presented in a design true to Moholy-Nagy’s original, International Architecture offers readers the opportunity to explore the Bauhaus’ aesthetic and its place in the world as Gropius himself was trying to define them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003e108 pages\u003cbr\u003eLARS MÜLLER PUBLISHERS, 2019\u003cbr\u003e7 x 9 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9783037785843\u003cbr\u003eBauhaus, Architecture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16330858856520,"sku":"9783037785843","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/products\/Walter-Gropius-International-Architecture-Bauhausbucher-1_Lars-Muller_Cover.jpg?v=1593549231"},{"product_id":"kasimir-malevich-the-non-objective-world-bauhausbucher-11","title":"Kasimir Malevich: The Non-Objective World (Bauhausbücher 11)","description":"\u003cp\u003eEdited by Walter Gropius and László Moholy-Nagy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"redstrong\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA facsimile of the gorgeous Bauhaus edition of Malevich's classic treatise on Suprematism.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKasimir Malevich (1879–1935) debuted his new creative theory of basic geometric shapes with the publication of his Suprematist manifesto in 1915.

The experience of exile infused their modernist ideas with new urgency and forced them to use certain materials in place of others, modify existing works, and reconsider their approach to design itself. In \u003cem\u003eObjects in Exile\u003c\/em\u003e, Robin Schuldenfrei reveals how the process of migration was crucial to the development of modernism, charting how modern art and architecture was shaped by the need to constantly face—and transcend—the materiality of things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking readers from the prewar era to the 1960s, Schuldenfrei explores the objects these émigrés brought with them, what they left behind, and the new works they completed in exile. She argues that modernism could only coalesce with the abandonment of national borders in a process of emigration and resettlement, and brings to life the vibrant postwar period when avant-garde ideas came together and emerged as mainstream modernism. Examining works by Walter Gropius, László Moholy-Nagy, Lucia Moholy, Herbert Bayer, Anni and Josef Albers, and others, Schuldenfrei demonstrates the social impact of art objects produced in exile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShedding critical light on how the pressures of dislocation irrevocably altered the course of modernism, \u003cem\u003eObjects in Exile\u003c\/em\u003e shows how artists and designers, forced into exile by circumstances beyond their control, changed in unexpected ways to meet the needs and contexts of an uncertain world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003e352 pages | \u003cspan\u003e76 color + 82 black-and-white illustrations \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrinceton University Press, 2024\u003cbr\u003e7.5 x 10.5 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9780691232669     \u003cbr\u003eModernism\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48065113358504,"sku":"9780691232669","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/files\/Objects-in-Exile_Modern-Art-and-Design-Across-Borders.jpg?v=1715208018"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/collections\/Moholy-Nagy.jpg?v=1359044816","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/collections\/bookstore-artist-monographs-laszlo-maholy-nagy.oembed","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
