Cultourinaria - Bauhaus Tours Germany 2009
Bauhaus was the most important and most influential school for design, architecture and art in the twentieth century. To this day, its impact on design, fine arts and architecture remains visible around the globe. The “Staatliche Bauhaus Weimar” was founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius with the aim of uniting arts, crafts and architecture training within a single institution and reforming living and housing conditions. Many famous artists worked and taught at this new type of school: Lyonel Feininger, Johannes Itten, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Gerhard Marcks, Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, Georg Muche, Josef Albers, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Oskar Schlemmer.
90 years of the Bauhaus in 2009 is the perfect opportunity to present – for the first time on such a large scale – the idea, history and achievements of the Bauhaus in Germany to the world.
