Product detailed description
Bauhaus Goes West offers a timely reevaluation of how the Bauhaus influenced and was shaped by modern art and design in Britain and the United States. Published for the school’s centenary, Alan Powers traces both the conceptual journey of the Bauhaus and the personal stories of its key figures abroad.
Discover the 1930s UK sojourns of Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, and László Moholy-Nagy—examined in meticulous parallel research for the first time. Explore the experiences of lesser-known Bauhäusler who remained in Britain, and follow how the main protagonists carried Bauhaus ideals onward into American art and design.
Beginning with early 20th-century cultural ties between Germany and Britain, this book challenges assumptions and brings fresh insights into the Bauhaus’s transatlantic legacy and its enduring role in shaping modern aesthetics.
