Object Lessons The Bauhaus and Harvard

Object Lessons The Bauhaus and Harvard by Laura Muir, published by Harvard Art Museums in 2021.

A fresh look at the influential pedagogy and practice pioneered by the Bauhaus Founded by architect Walter Gropius (1883-1969) in 1919, the Bauhaus was the 20th century's most influential school of art, architecture, and design. After the school was shuttered under pressure from the Nazis in 1933, many Bauhaus artists brought their innovative practices and teaching methods to the United States. Gropius himself accepted a position at Harvard, where he would help establish a collection of Bauhaus material that has since grown to more than 30,000 objects--the largest such collection outside Germany.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves art and design.
