Seventy years after its foundation in Weimar, the Bauhaus has become a concept, indeed a catchprase all over the world. The respect which it commands is associated above all with the design it pioneered, one which we know describe as 'Bauhaus style'. This volume traces the history of Bauhaus.

Josef Albers was a world-renowned Modernist painter, designer, teacher, and theoretician. Born in 1888 in Germany, Albers enrolled as a student at the Bauhaus in 1920 and went on to teach metal-work furniture, typography, and design courses there until the school was forced to close in 1933. He then came to the United States to teach at the newly founded Black Mountain College in North Carolina and at Yale University. This volume focuses on one aspect of Josef Albers's career: his work in black, white, and gray. By concentrating on this select group of drawings, prints, photographs, engraved vinylites, and paintings, one can survey his work from the early drawings (1910s) to the late prints (1970s). What becomes clear is that, with the key exception of his conversion to abstraction at the Bauhaus in the very early 1920s, Albers remained largely immune to changing currents in the art world. Throughout his life, he allowed only one of the pervasive social forces defining the 20th century to have a direct impact on his art -- a very modern embrace of industrialization.

An essential examination of how emigration and resettlement defined modernism In the fraught years leading up to World War II, many modern artists and architects emigrated from continental Europe to the United States and Britain. The experience of exile infused their modernist ideas with new urgency and forced them to use certain materials in place of others, modify existing works, and reconsider their approach to design itself. In Objects in Exile, Robin Schuldenfrei reveals how the process of migration was crucial to the development of modernism, charting how modern art and architecture was shaped by the need to constantly face—and transcend—the materiality of things. Taking readers from the prewar era to the 1960s, Schuldenfrei explores the objects these émigrés brought with them, what they left behind, and the new works they completed in exile. She argues that modernism could only coalesce with the abandonment of national borders in a process of emigration and resettlement, and brings to life the vibrant postwar period when avant-garde ideas came together and emerged as mainstream modernism. Examining works by Walter Gropius, László Moholy-Nagy, Lucia Moholy, Herbert Bayer, Anni and Josef Albers, and others, Schuldenfrei demonstrates the social impact of art objects produced in exile. Shedding critical light on how the pressures of dislocation irrevocably altered the course of modernism, Objects in Exile shows how artists and designers, forced into exile by circumstances beyond their control, changed in unexpected ways to meet the needs and contexts of an uncertain world.

The original edition of this ambitious reference was published in hardcover in 1998, in two oversize volumes (10x13"). This edition combines the two volumes into one; it's paperbound ("flexi-cover"--the paper has a plastic coating), smaller (8x10", and affordable for art book buyers with shallower pockets--none of whom should pass it by. The scope is encyclopedic: half the work (originally the first volume) is devoted to painting; the other half to sculpture, new media, and photography. Chapters are arranged thematically, and each page displays several examples (in color) of work under discussion. The final section, a lexicon of artists, includes a small bandw photo of each artist, as well as biographical information and details of work, writings, and exhibitions. Ruhrberg and the three other authors are veteran art historians, curators, and writers, as is editor Walther. c. Book News Inc.
