Bauhaus, 1919-1928 by Herbert Bayer

jazin95's review

3.0

This book was a required reading for my After the Bauhaus: Design from the Interwar Period to the Age of Climate Crisis class at uni. Gropius's view of ornamentation was that it was like dressing a corpse. This is a fascinating view as many Bauhaus designs seem SO stimulating and very decorated in very different ways, with colour, for example.
