Bauhaus (Updated Edition) by Magdalena Droste XL Taschen Book

Between two world wars, the Bauhaus School of Art and Design changed the face of modernity. Realized with the Bauhaus-Archiv in Berlin, this updated edition celebrates the school’s centennial. Over 550 illustrations, architectural plans, studies, photographs, sketches and models record not only the realized works but also the leading principles and personalities of this idealistic creative community through its three successive locations in Weimar, Dessau and Berlin. Bauhaus also features biographies of key figures like Walter Gropius, Paul Klee and Marianne Brandt—the ultimate guide.
