From expressionist beginnings to a pioneering model uniting art and technology, this exhibition charted the Bauhaus’ utopian vision to change society in the aftermath of World War I. Bauhaus: Art as Life explored the school’s fourteen-year history and delved into the subjects at the heart of the school: art, culture, life, politics and society, and technology.
The exhibition featured a rich array of painting, sculpture, design, architecture, film, photography, textiles, ceramics, theatre and installation. Exemplar works from such Bauhaus Masters as Josef and Anni Albers, Marianne Brandt, Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius, Johannes Itten, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Hannes Meyer, László Moholy-Nagy, Oskar Schlemmer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Gunta Stölzl, were presented alongside works by lesser-known Bauhaus artists and students.
