Discuss the Bauhaus school, and its influence on early 20th-century modernism, citing examples and artists/architects of the style.
What will be an ideal response?
The Bauhaus was an ideal of collective artistic endeavor, and the student's education was designed to eliminate traditional divisions between painters, sculptors, architects, and graphic and industrial designers. Literally "building house," the Bauhaus sought to "build" new guiding principles of design compatible with 20th-century technology. Structures, rooms, furniture, and everyday household objects were stripped of superficial embellishment and pared down to clean lines. These aesthetics continued to influence design and fine art for decades.
