Mit dem Bauhaus um die Welt

With Paul Klee, Mies van der Rohe, and Anni Albers on a Bauhaus tour. The people at the Bauhaus were open and experimental, which also brought them many enemies. This book explains why that was the case. After the school closed in 1933 in Berlin, some Bauhaus members moved from Europe to other continents. Where did Paul Klee, Mies van der Rohe, Anni Albers, Marcel Breuer, Fiedl Dicker, and Arieh Sharon go? Why did their designs for stylish Bauhaus lamps, practical furniture pieces, or angular houses also find great appeal in other countries? Did you know that Hannes Meyer, Marianne Brandt, and Lilly Reich worked on projects in Moscow, Beijing, and Chicago after the end of the Bauhaus? And that Paul Klee was one of the first to venture out to gather inspiration beyond Germany? He brought back influences from his travels to Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan.
