Bauhaus was a “design school” in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts. The idea behind it was creating a frame in which all kinds of art would eventually be brought together. The respective Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius. It existed in three German cities (Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933. when the school was closed by its own leadership under pressure from the Nazi regime.)
Bauhaus had and still has until today a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography.
