The Bauhaus Gang. Masters of modernism

Nicholas Fox Weber, director of the Albers Foundation for 33 years, spent many years with Anni and Josef Albers, the only artist couple at the Bauhaus. The Albers' told him their personal stories and described their lives at the Bauhaus with fellow artists and teachers Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. In this extraordinary group biography, Weber brilliantly brings to life these Bauhaus geniuses and the community of the pioneering art school in Weimar and Dessau in the 1920s and early 1930s. He captures the spirit and flair as well as the consuming goal of these protagonists to create art and architecture. A portrait infused with their embrace of life, their gift of laughter, and the tremendous power of their individual artistic personalities.
