Krátky popis
The concept for the Bauhaus - literally 'building house' - came
from Walter Gropius, a practicing architect and one of the great
thinkers of the 20th century. Young Gropius's idea for the Bauhaus
emerged from his experience of the first world war in which he
served as a cavalry officer on the western front. His response to
the devastating scenes that he lived through was a stark
determination to 'start again from zero.' Only a new outlook on
design and architecture could provide the means for a shattered
civilisation literally to rebuild itself.Gropius's vision was a
democratic concept of art for the people: art for social betterment
in which everyone would share. The Bauhaus aesthetic meant clarity,
sharp angles, and straight lines. It meant Kandinsky, Klee, Albers,
and Moholy-Nagy as teachers and a playful, richly experimental
communal life (and often outrageous parties).Gropius was at the
very centre of this vibrant cultural life and a figure of great
personal charisma and intellectual glamour. This book uncovers his
riveting and often poignant personal story: his personal anguish
and exile during the second world war, the death of his daughter,
the disappearance of his sister, and the break-up of his marriage
with Alma Mahler - as well as examining the urges that drove 20th
Century modernism as a whole. The centenary of the Bauhaus will be
celebrated in 2019 and there could not be a better time for this
glorious biography of its founder.
