Description and Table of Contents
Description
Until 1925, when the Bauhaus moved to Dessau, Weimar was the meeting place for a wide spectrum of ideas, utopias and experiments that formed the basis of the institution's renown. The text focuses on the works that emerged from the workshops at Weimar, from the studies in the introductory course given by Johannes Itten to the design sketches that are considered classics today. Another section reveals the Kunstsammlungen zu Weimar collection, which contains over 8000 exhibits. The Bauhaus locations are brought to life, such as Henry van de Velde's art-school buildings and Walter Gropius's memorial to those who died in the 1848 Revolution.
