About the Book: Fourteen years that changed the world: The Bauhaus existed only between 1919 and 1933, yet it became the most important and influential school for architecture, design, and art in the 20th century. Based on a wealth of documents from the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin, this volume chronicles the history of an idealistic creative community determined to rethink design completely and shape a better future for modern people. Among the featured artists are Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, Walter Gropius, Gertrud Grunow, Paul Klee, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Lilly Reich, among others.
