Description
The Bauhaus school of design began as a way to remove the deep distinctions that existed at the time between a craftsman and an artist. Theirs was a style of radical experimentalism that challenged the notion that form and function are mutually exclusive. They had a huge cultural influence on modernism, on the idea that simple, functional design was more beautiful and more elegant than the overt. The trademark of the Bauhaus school was sharp, straight lines and simple geometric shapes in the design of their buildings, and equally the art inspired by it.
