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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlacing 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. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaperback\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e216 pages\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThames \u0026amp; Hudson, 2020\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 x 8.4 x 0.7 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 9780500204627\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMovements\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39769571983528,"sku":"9780500204627","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/products\/Bauhaus-world-of-art.jpg?v=1634919530","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/bauhaus-world-of-art","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
