The Impact of Bauhaus on ArtDuring the 1920s, new technologies changed culture around the world. This period of rapid development was known as the Jazz Age. During the Jazz Age, new styles of art and architecture were created (Hewes; Ellis and Esler 527). The Bauhaus, a school building, contributed greatly to the evolution of art forms in the fields of art, architecture and technology (Craven). The Bauhaus was a school located in Weimer, Germany. It was founded in 1919 by a German architect named Walter Gropius. The goal of the Bauhaus was to bring the arts together in a new era of modern art or, as Gropius describes it, "Architects, sculptors, painters, we must all return to the craft" (Borteh). Gropius expressed this idea in the Bauhaus Proclamation, a document by Gropius which declared that the Bauhaus was a "utopian craft guild" that combined architecture, sculpture, and painting (Wilson). This idea attracted many very experienced staff members. Among the school's staff were art figures such as Wassily Kandinsky, Joseph Albers, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Paul Klee and Johannes Itten. Architectural figures of the school included Ludwig Mies van der Rode and Gropius himself. The school's only designer was Marcel Breur. Staff members participated in a movement, the Arts and Crafts (Borteh) movement. The Arts and Crafts movement occurred in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Its objective was to “bring artists and artisans together”. The movement was born from the fear that art would disappear in favor of the booming manufacturing sector (“The Bauhaus”). However, Gropius knew that manufacturing would play an important role in the future and promoted art that could be mass-produced by factories. In 1923, the school's slogan was...... middle of paper...... the aim of our goal of bringing technology and art together was successful.BibliographyBarteh, Larissa. “The Bauhaus.” Art History.org.
