Bauhausfotografie (Bauhaus Fotografie / Photography), 1983

Information

HERZOGENRATH, Wolf (editor)

Documents the photography of The Bauhaus School, one of the most influential art and design schools in the 20th century. The Bauhaus School existed in three cities: Weimar (1919-1925), Dessau (1925’s-1932) and Berlin (1932’s-1933), where it eventually closed due to political pressure from the Nazis. Its overarching vision was to put art in contact with everyday life. The Bauhaus presented a new academic approach by replacing the traditional teacher-student model with the idea of a community or union of artists working together for a unified purpose.

Crouwel was the successor to Willem Sandberg who used an avant-garde approach in his work, utilising torn-paper montage, mixing of sans serif and old Egyptian typefaces and often off-center positioning. Crouwel steered away from this artistic approach and implemented a cohesive design system and a strong identity that emulated the corporate identity boom of the 1950s and 60s.
