How We Celebrate International Women's Day in Bauhausland How we celebrate International Women’s Day in BauhausLand Women in the Bauhaus movement: Discover who they were and what they did When an exhibition by Bauhaus artist Anni Albers opened in London recently, art critics gave the show five stars. Albers’ textiles, wall-hangings and “pictorial weavings” were a revelation. But she was not the only female artist in the Bauhaus. Now, as the world marks the 100th birthday of this revolutionary design movement, the contributions of its women designers are in the spot- light. In BauhausLand (the German federal states of Thuringia and Saxony- Anhalt), women, such as Albers, Gertrud Arndt and Marianne Brandt are being celebrated. And, a couple of hours to the north, Berlin, another Bauhaus hotspot, has declared International Women's Day (March 8) to be an official public holiday. Anni Albers: Master of Textiles When Walter Gropius created the Bauhaus school in Weimar in 1919, every- one was welcome “without regard to age or sex.” In fact, more women than men applied! Anni Albers studied weaving and went on to be a brilliant and influential textile designer. After fleeing Germany, she based herself at Black Mountain College in Asheville, North Carolina, USA. Gunta Stölzl: Designer, teacher and producer Albers had studied under Gunta Stölzl. She was the head of the Bauhaus weaving department and one of only six women in the 45-strong faculty. Stölzl transformed her students into a full-on, professional, industrial design unit. For example, they designed and wove the blankets for the beds in Dessau’s stu- dent dorm. The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation has a fine collection of Stölzl’s textiles. The „Bauhaus Girls“: Innovation in art and design One of the earliest iconic Bauhaus designs is the teapot designed by Marianne Brandt. Her creations, from coffee sets to the “Kandem” bedside TourComm Germany lamp, not only looked stylish, but also sold well.

  • Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus
    Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus Staatliches Bauhaus, commonly known simply as Bauhaus, was a school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it publicized and taught. It operated from 1919 to 1933. At that time the German term Bauhaus, literally "house of construction" stood for "School of Building". The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. In spite of its name, and the fact that its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus did not have an architecture department during the first years of its existence. Nonetheless it was founded with the idea of creating a The Bauhaus Dessau 'total' work of art in which all arts, including architecture would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style became one of the most influential currents in Modernist architecture and modern design.[1] The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography. The school existed in three German cities (Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933), under three different architect-directors: Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1928, 1921/2, Walter Gropius's Expressionist Hannes Meyer from 1928 to 1930 and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Monument to the March Dead from 1930 until 1933, when the school was closed by its own leadership under pressure from the Nazi regime. The changes of venue and leadership resulted in a constant shifting of focus, technique, instructors, and politics. For instance: the pottery shop was discontinued when the school moved from Weimar to Dessau, even though it had been an important revenue source; when Mies van der Rohe took over the school in 1930, he transformed it into a private school, and would not allow any supporters of Hannes Meyer to attend it.

  • The Bauhaus Photomontages of Marianne Brandt. by Elizabeth Otto
    133 Book Reviews Tempo, Tempo! The Bauhaus Photomontages of Marianne Brandt. By Elizabeth Otto. Berlin: Jovis Verlag, 2005. 176 pp. $35.00 cloth. Elizabeth Otto’s recent exhibition catalogue and catalogue raisonnée of the photomontages of Marianne Brandt recovers a previously unpublished body 134 THE SPACE BETWEEN of work and addresses two issues of great importance during the Weimar Republic: the complicated roles of women, and the physical and emotional fragmentation of modern life. Women occupied a confl icted position in 1920s Germany, experiencing struggles over gender and work, sexuality, economic independence, and a general movement towards liberation. Much German art of the period, as seen in paintings by Otto Dix, featured the quasi-mythical fi gure of the Neue Frau, or New Woman, a construction heav- ily propagated by the popular press as well.1 Simultaneously, visual artists and other purveyors of culture, from musicians to playwrights, turned to the fragmentation of montage as a way to impart the disjointed, chaotic nature of life in the urban metropolis.2 In her photomontages, produced over the course of a decade, Marianne Brandt returned again and again to themes of the modern metropolis, new technologies, and the status of women. Brandt chose the medium of photomontage specifi cally for its critical potential: by carefully selecting, fragmenting, and recombining images from the mass media, Brandt implicitly questioned the apparent progress of women, the militarization of German society, and the quality of urban life. Born in Chemnitz in 1893, Marianne Liebe began her formal train- ing under Fritz Mackensen. Strongly infl uenced by the Expressionists, Liebe earned a degree in painting from the Hochschule für Bildende Kunst in Weimar in 1918.

  • Bauhaus Centenary Year May Be Over, but the Influential Art and Design Movement Remains in the International Spotlight
    Dear Journalist/Editor The Bauhaus centenary year may be over, but the influential art and design movement remains in the international spotlight. Below is an article that in- cludes comments from eminent publications, pointing out that 2019 was a cat- alyst for a new appreciation of the Bauhaus movement. And that interest con- tinues in 2020. Inspired by exhibitions both in Germany and around the world, more and more visitors are planning vacations in BauhausLand, the German federal states of Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. This editorial contribution is, of course, free for use. Bauhaus: Still in the spotlight! BAUHAUSLAND: ATTRACTING NEW FANS In 2019, the worldwide celebrations for the centenary of the Bauhaus focused on the achievements of this influential art and design movement. The range of exhibitions appealed to aficionados, but they also attracted a brand-new audi- ence. Leila Stone wrote in The Architect’s Newspaper: “Bauhaus is architec- ture. Bauhaus is costume design. Bauhaus is textile design. Bauhaus is furni- ture…it has never been more clear that Bauhaus is everywhere.” With appre- ciation increasing, more and more fans are planning to visit BauhausLand www.gobauhaus.com to spend their 2020 vacations in the German federal states of Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. BAUHAUSLAND: THE HOT DESTINATION FOR 2020 GQ Magazine trumpeted the headline: “Why travel trendsetters are heading for the birthplace of Bauhaus.” The list of ‘must dos’ includes the striking new Bauhaus Museum in Weimar, where the ‘must sees’ range from Josef Albers’ ground-breaking Nesting Tables to Wilhelm Wagenfeld’s Glass Table Lamp, which is still manufactured today! As for Architectural Digest, it names the brand-new Bauhaus Museum Dessau as one of its “Top 20 Places to Travel in 2020,” adding that “If you decide to go on a Bauhaus-themed pilgrimage, be sure to visit the Meisterhäuser, a group of white cubist homes where Gropius, Kandinsky, and other Bauhaus luminaries lived.” TourComm Germany Olbrichtstr.

ABSTRACT The Bauhaus, one of the most prestigious colleges of fine arts, was founded in 1919 by the architect Walter Gropius. Although it is closed in the last century, its influence is still manifested in design industries now and will continue to spread its principles to designers and artists. Even, it has a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, fashion design and design education. Up until now, Bauhaus ideal has al- ways been a controversial focus that plays a crucial role in the field of design. Not only emphasizing function but also reflecting the human-oriented idea could be the greatest progress on modern design and manufacturing. Even more, harmonizing the relationship between nature and human is the ultimate goal for all the designers to create their artworks. This essay will analyze Bauhaus’s influence on modern design and manufacturing in terms of technology, architecture and design education.

  • Bauhaus Döneminde Mobilya Ve Tekstil Atölyeleri Arasındaki
    SDÜ ART-E Güzel Sanatlar Fakültesi Sanat Dergisi Haziran’21 Cilt:14 Sayı:27 ISSN 1308-2698 BAUHAUS DÖNEMİNDE MOBİLYA VE TEKSTİL ATÖLYELERİ ARASINDAKİ DİSİPLİNLERARASI İŞ BİRLİĞİ: MARCEL BREUER ÖRNEKLEMİ INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABOTARION AMONG FURNITURE AND TEXTILE WORKSHOPS IN THE BAUHAUS PERIOD: THE EXAMPLE OF MARCEL BREUER Şebnem Ertaş Beşir*, Şeyma Dereci** Öz Modernleşme sürecinin öncü akımlarından olan Bauhaus; çeşitli disiplinleri kapsayan ve sanatçı, zanaatçı ile endüstrinin etkileşim halinde olması gerektiğini vurgulayan bir felsefe benimsemesiyle özünde iş birliği kavramını barındırmaktadır. Dönem içerisinde akımın bir simgesi haline gelen Bauhaus Okulu’nda iş birliği, çeşitli atölyeler ve tasarımcıları arasında disiplinlerarası etkileşimlerle devam etmiştir. Dönemin önemli atölyelerinden mobilya atölyesinin kurduğu en belirgin iş birliği ise tekstil atölyesi ile olmuştur. Çalışma kapsamında; Bauhaus dönemi mobilya ve tekstil atölyeleri arasında kurulan iş birliğine bağlı olarak gözlemlenen malzeme ve tekniklerin değişim ve gelişimlerinin, Marcel Breuer tasarımları açısından ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda, Bauhaus dönemleri içerisinde tasarımcının mobilyaları incelenmiş; mobilyalar ve tekstil atölyesiyle kurulan iş birliği ortaya konmuştur. Sonuçta ise, Weimar ve Dessau dönemi mobilya tasarımlarının malzemeleri, strüktür ve tekstil başlıklarında değerlendirilmiş; iş birliği kurulan tekstil atölyesi tasarımcısı bilgisi ile birlikte tablolaştırılmış ve bazı çıkarımlar yapılmıştır. Çalışma; Bauhaus’un felsefesinde yatan iş birliği olgusunun, mobilya ve tekstil atölyeleri arasındaki disiplinlerarası etkileşim ile Breuer ilişkisini ortaya koyması adına önemlidir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Bauhaus, Marcel Breuer, Mobilya, Tekstil, İş Birliği, Disiplinlerarası. Abstract Bauhaus, which is one of the leading movements of the modernization process, includes the concept of cooperation at its core, adopting a philosophy that covers various disciplines and emphasizes the need for the interaction among artists, proficient and industry.

The most impor- tant objects and documents related to the Bauhaus and its history will continue to be shown in the special exhibition Bauhaus in Motion, which will start on � March ���7. Join me in looking forward to the coming changes! We wish you a wonderful time at the Bauhaus-Archiv. Annemarie Jaeggi The Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung Director researches and presents the history and influence of the Bauhaus, which operated from 1919 to 1933 in Weimar, Dessau and Berlin, and was among the 20th century’s most important schools of architecture, design and art. The Bauhaus-Archiv was initiated in 1960 by the art­­ ­historian Hans Maria Wingler – with the support of the Bauhaus’s founder, Walter Gropius – for the purpose of providing a new home for the material legacy of the Bauhaus, which was scattered around the world in 1933. In 1979, after multiple relocations, the Bauhaus- Archiv was finally able to move into the building in Berlin that Gropius designed for it.
