(Preface) 'The Bauhaus: Masters and Students by Themselves is a major new book about the single most influential design school of the twentieth century. Extracts from the writings - manifestos, letters, diary entries - of all of the seminal figures of the movement are combined with illustrations from the media to which the group applied its theories, including architecture, painting, textiles, typography, furniture and costume design. The result is a provocative and richly varied collection of ideas and images.
Essentially a product of its own time and place, the Bauhaus flourished, briefly but brilliantly, under the benevolent auspices of the Weimar government, formed in the aftermath of World War I and committed to a new way ahead for Germany. Although closed down by the Nazis in 1933, the Bauhaus School continues to exert an influence on the way we live our lives today: the questions raised by its most celebrated teachers - such as Klee, Kandinsky, Gropius and Breuer - about the nature of good design, and the effects that buildings have on the people who live and work in them, continue to exercise the hearts and minds of artists, architects, the media and the general public...'
