Welcome to Litsy!

What this really made me wonder is, what if the Weimar Republic hadn‘t ended? In WWII books the end of the Weimar Republic always feels like a forgone conclusion, but I don‘t think it felt that way to people living through it.

Whew, I don‘t know much about Bauhaus. But the dislike that the author holds for Gropius‘s wife Alma, seems over the top and problematic.

Bit creepy, no?!

(Bauhaus itself is the narrator.)

Annelise Fleischmann wanted to study printing...

Bauhaus: a graphic novel.

So much dependence on chance? Bauhaus documented by Lucia Moholy-Nagy's photographs.

Short book about composition in modern art: line, color, mouvement. It includes notes and drawings from the artist when he was a teacher at the Bauhaus' school of art.

Struggled with this at first but the second half of the story was a lot more interesting! Persevere.

Also chosen my next #TBRDeckOfCards (final one for Jan?)

The Bauhaus school of design was founded 100 year ago in 1919 (I did the maths), and this book is an introduction to the people, products and politics, the art and the architecture that characterised the Bauhaus, summarised in 100 short essays, each subject illustrated. Founded and developed upon socialist ideals, the Bauhaus inevitably ran foul of the Nazis and closed before WWII, by which time its influence had spread across the world. 👇🏼
