This work examines a variety of works by some of the Bauhaus School's most celebrated artists. This wonderful new series (with over 10 titles in print) aims to combine a compact, commercial approach with the breadth and clarity of larger format books. Covering art which both creates the foundation of modern culture and modern art itself, the books include American Art, Modern Art and Surrealism.
I've had the good fortune to visit the Bauhaus Archiv in Berlin, and the Bauhaus exhibition in the Baribican, London over the past 3 years. So I come to this book with some Bauhaus history. I found the book to be really well put together. An image on the right hand side, and information about it on the left. The cross referencing was good, as was the brief bio of the artist. Well put together and very referencable.
another reference book that stays with me almost all the time.....you can really finish a reference book:) 5 stars b/c it has a comprehensive collection of bauhuas pieces togther with biographies of the designers....
