"'Um, people said 'oh these objects in themselves, they're, they're radical, they're modernist, they scare Ye Olde Nazi Aesthetic'; that simply isn't true. Bauhaus artifacts were on sale throughout the 1930's in Germany. In shop windows you'd have a Marianne Brandt kettle next to a teapot next door to Nazi swastikas and souvenirs of the regime. There's even a famous postcard of Hitler reclining in a tubular steel chair. So it wasn't the objects which caused the problem. The Nazis quite understood industrialization; I mean autobahns, gas stations, um, the Four Year Plans, you know, the Volkswagen, they understood all that. It was the teachers and the students and it was that image of the Bauhaus that got them into trouble.'

NARRATOR: Stormtroopers commandeered the Dessau Bauhaus, shattering glass, throwing tools, files and furniture out of the windows. Another, sinister kind of school took over the building. It trained party functionaries."

Gropius essentially banning serifs in Bauhaus' typefaces was a based move. Serifs bad and should be oppressed in typography more often.

GIVE WOMEN THE RIGHT TO WELD YOU FUCKS

I WANT THOSE TEA POTS

perhaps architecture was a mistake

All that Bauhaus art is a slay but the theater workshops are literally the products of my nightmares

Me and my friend making geodisc domes and watching this
And saying "I so relate to this rn!!"

Strange

a bauhaus começou em weimar, foi pra dessau, depois pra berlim, e por fim, no ifrn das rocas 🛹
ivana e fellipe muito klee e kandinsky das ideias

Not a reflection of the quality of the doc, but the way my art teacher has the classroom set up meant that I had to do a 180 turn to go from my notes to the screen. That was pretty annoying.

Also, when Hitler was mentioned, the girl sitting next to me gasped. It’s set in early 20th century Germany, we’re you expecting someone else?

Oh, and the doc was extremely bland. Nothing I couldn’t have got from skimming over a Wikipedia article.

It tried to find a way of dealing with life on an aesthetic level.
Our lives should be aesthetically pleasing.
Make that thing.

I feel like I would thrive here but they would probs call me a chink

Bauhaus… in the middle of our street!

“In my mind, the painters of the modern time had done some constructive thinking.
They had developed a certain philosophy as to artistic space and colors and form.
So I thought the final aim of the Bauhaus, for me, was: architecture, that the painters might be able to bring in, really, the beginning of a new constructive thought. 
And they have shown that it was so.
We have to pull the whole thing together.
We have to destroy these separations between painting and sculpture and architecture and design and so on.
It is all one.”
~Walter Gropius, 1968
