Bringing the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th Century into the modern era, the Bauhaus School was founded on geometric principles, seeking new ideas and production methods. Founded by Walter Gropius in 1919 and closed by the Nazis in the early 1930s, the school made a profound mark on the world of design and architecture. Surveying its fertile and diverse roster of artists, this history features color reproductions of art by Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Mies van der Rohe, Josef Albers, Franz Marc, and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, among others.
