Though bitterly attacked at the time, the movement's founder, the architect Walter Gropius, and the artists, designers and craftsmen he gathered round him were to chart new paths and set new standards in art, craft and design, while the Bauhaus philosophy was to have a profound influence on subsequent design developments.

This book is the complete visual record of the Bauhaus's achievement, with detailed coverage of all key Bauhaus themes, including architecture, interior and industrial design, ceramics, graphics, painting and sculpture and the performing arts. It also places the Bauhaus in an overall historical, sociological and cultural context, explaining who its members were and how they came to be involved in the movement, and gives the Bauhaus's history, from its foundation in 1919 to its closure by the nazis in 1933. The result is an authoritative, fully illustrated survey of one of the key movements in the 20th-century art and design.
