Weimar, Dessau and Berlin · 1919 -1933
Klee, Kandinsky, Moholy-Nagy and their contemporaries made the Bauhaus a laboratory where point, line, color, photography, material and movement brought together art, crafts and the industrial world.
The Bauhaus was founded in Weimar in 1919 by Walter Gropius. The school wants to overcome the separation between fine arts, crafts, architecture and modern production. Students take a preliminary course devoted to materials, color and form before joining metal, textile, typography, theater, furniture or mural workshops. Johannes Itten, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Laszló Moholy-Nagy, Josef Albers and Oskar Schlemmer are among the masters who give this teaching its diversity. Klee analyzes the forces of growth, rhythm and transformation of signs without reducing the image to cold geometry. In Senecio, the face becomes a network of colored rectangles; in Chirping Machine, the fragile line oscillates between organism and mechanism. Kandinsky develops a grammar of point, line and plane, where shapes and colors produce tensions and movements. Moholy-Nagy explores metal, glass, photography, typography and light; Z VIII translates this thought into a space of planes, circles and transparencies. Transferred to Dessau in 1925, the Bauhaus occupies a building designed by Gropius which becomes the emblem of its functional architecture. The school then passed through Berlin before its closure under Nazi pressure in 1933. Its teachers and students then spread its methods in Europe, the United States and elsewhere. collection emphasizes painting and abstraction, but recalls their connection with a larger project: learning through experimentation and giving a clear form to modern life. The selection "Bauhaus: shapes, colors and abstraction" notably compares Senecio - Paul Klee and Paul Klee Chirping Machine. His reading favors atmosphere.
At Bauhaus, abstract form is not isolated decoration: it is a method for understanding color, material, movement and modern space.
