Detailed information

Product detailed description

Bauhaus Bodies marks the centenary of the Bauhaus by reframing the school’s legacy beyond architecture and design to its radical engagement with the human body. Editors Elizabeth Otto and Patrick Rössler assemble fourteen original essays—by both leading and emerging scholars—that explore how Bauhaus artists confronted notions of health, movement, gender, and sexuality.

Delving into both celebrated and neglected figures—particularly its women—this collection uncovers the corporeal dimensions of Bauhaus practice: from dance and ergonomics to costume and performance. Written for students, academics, and general readers alike, these cutting-edge perspectives redefine our understanding of modern art, design history, and gender studies.

As a critical guide for the 2019 centenary and beyond, Bauhaus Bodies will shape debates on the school’s sociocultural impact and its enduring relevance to contemporary discussions on body politics and creative practice.
