Investigates how the Bauhaus school revolutionized modern art and design. From its founding in 1919 to its closure by the Nazis, the course examines how artists and architects reimagined art in an industrial world to shape a new, modern way of life. Students explore how Bauhaus design embodied a vision of a utopian future birthed by art, craft, and design—and the darker realities and contradictions that accompanied this ambition—within the social and political context of twentieth-century Germany.
