Bauhaus

Bauhaus was both a movement in art history and a school, which taught this movement. The movement was the venture in crafting art, literally and contextually. The school with the same name was founded by Walter Gropius in 1919 and was closed in 1933 when pressure from the Nazis forced them to change their ideals. Bauhaus in general was a major step forward in modern art, expanding the horizons on what objects and buildings were considered to be usable in normal society and art of the same nature. The movement had a major impact of typography, building design, and other forms of creativity throughout industrial life. One aspect of this movement that was essential was the notion that everything built here was to benefit what was to come.
