The acclaimed biographer of Le Corbusier, Balthus, and Sterling and Stephen Clark now gives us a vibrant, intimate portrait of six of the extraordinary artists and architects at the Bauhaus, the pioneering German art school that, during its fourteen years of existence, from 1919 to 1933, made possible many of the twentieth century's greatest paintings, changed the look of buildings, objects, and graphic design throughout the world, and profoundly altered our way of seeing.
Nicholas Fox Weber, for more than three decades as director of the Albers Foundation, was a longtime friend of Josef and Anni Albers, the only husband-and-wife pair at the Bauhaus (he was a painter, she a textile designer and weaver) and was told their stories about life at the Bauhaus. Now Weber renders that place and time with unprecedented richness, focusing on the Alberses and on their fellow artists and teachers Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Walter Gropius. Weber brilliantly captures what is missing from all other Bauhaus books--a feeling for their exuberant embrace of life, the spirit and flare with which they lived and worked, and their all-consuming goal of making art and architecture new.
A group portrait infused with the powerful force of the individual personalities and passions of six remarkable artists.
