Description
The Bauhaus School was probably the most influential art school to emerge in Europe and remains well known around the world as the central nucleus of modern architecture and design. But ‘bauhaus’ was more than just cubic building or steel tube chairs. The models introduced then are still with us today. The school’s faculty included renowned artists Wassily Kandinsky, Lyonel Feininger, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, and the architects Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe.
This documentary retraces the school beginnings following World War I, its revolutionary impact, and tells the true story of its closing and the political complicity among some members during Nazi-Germany, as recounted by Bauhaus alumni, men and women who once attended the school.
