Bauhaus in 7 Minutes: Revolutionary Design Movement Explained

- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2024
- For many artists, architects, and historians, the Bauhaus is a symbol of modernism and artistic ingenuity. However, to the vast majority of people, the Bauhaus seems like a rather peculiar and short-lived German art school. Honestly, both views are correct. Let’s take a closer look at the Bauhaus in this video!

So good, loved the editing, narration and the whole video. Great job!
So nice to hear, thank you! 😚👍🏻
Yes, but Weimar must be pronounced with V.
I feel like the video leaves out the most important part about the closure of the Bauhaus. Trying to suppress the Bauhaus and it's ideas actually drastically accelerated the global movement of the Bauhaus because students and teachers would travel abroad and spread their ideas, spawning countless Bauhaus enclaves across the world such as in the United States, Israel and even post war Japan.
Not to mention they gave the best band ever their name Bauhaus.
The Streisand effect!
Like Cranbrook
@@wildechild5 which band
Palestine*
Gotta love how Bauhaus was practical in every sense, even though it looks like art from afar.
Indeed, bauhaus vision was simple, beautiful and practical products
Art ? .....you are joking....right.
@@bobmitchell8012 indeed I am joking. Just move along.
Bauhaus was a movement predominately composed of talentless hacks pretending to be artists
One of my favourites. Combining aesthetic form with practical function is the definition of genius.
The fact that this video use many different visual methods (documentary, animation, Instagram, gallery, Pinterest, et cetera.) and using search bar for separating topic captures nowadays media presentation. Splendid, subscribed for sure.
Wonderful, thank you 🙏🏻
Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius left the school in 1928 not 1923. He lead the school from 1919-28 in Weimar and Dessau.
Bravo! Another wonderful production!
Paul Klee taught at the Bauhaus. He is my favorite artist!
The Nazis branded him a Degenerate and he fled to Switzerland.
Depressed, he finally met his hero Picasso who praised Klee's
work and lifting him out his depression. The life of artists fascinate me!
Would love to see you do one on just Paul Klee.
Thank you so much! 👍🏻
Have you seen the state of modern art? It's degenerated quite a bit in part to influences like Klee. Ever wonder if the Nazi's got some things right? Nah, that would require nuanced thought.
Great video. In Buenos Aires, we have FADU (Faculty of Architecture, Desing and Urbanism) and we build the same sense of community and collaboration they used to have in the Bauhaus.
searched a few videos on bauhaus for the first time and watched them. Yours is is much better than the the top pics. solid vid. One up for the utube algo :)
Thank you so much ☺️, so happy to hear you found this video helpful 😚
I only recently stumbled across you but every video is educational and stimulating. I especially enjoyed getting a more focused understanding of Bauhaus than I've previously had.
Welcome to this channel and glad to hear you like our videos! 😍🙏🏻
Great job! I'm intrigued by the art/design movement videos.
😍🙏🏻
I would like to compliment you on your channel. Interesting and informative videos on a range of great topics. You have gained a new fan.
Thank you, Miriam! So wonderful to have you with us! 🙏🏻
I love how you portrayed Johannes Itten and the correlation between today's lifestyle trends and how it was also present in that time!
Thank you - and happy to hear you’ve watched at least 2 of our videos 😊🙌🏻
@@CuriousMuse don’t worry I will binge them all 🤩
Best day ever! 😆💪🏻
Berlin and Eastern Germany was really progressive at this time in terms of society and politics
I think another example of a school that impacted culture in a widespread way was Black Mountain College in North Carolina. It fostered the careers and practices of several modern contemporary artists of the late 20th century: Josef and Anni Albers, Ruth Asawa, Ray Johnson, Robert Motherwell, Dorothea Rockburne, Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg, Merce Cunningham, John Cage, Buckminster Fuller, Franz Kline, and Willem and Elaine de Kooning to name a few.
Thanks for putting a spotlight on this college!
I REALLY like the sound effect/music in the video's background.
Oh, thank you ☺️🙏🏻
Bauhaus was not "peculiar", Bauhaus was ahead of its time.
Both views are correct :)
Bauhaus will smolder on the ash heap of history - ahead of its time or not.
Thanks for the video! As for the other schools I guess soviet Vkhutemas (later Vkhutein) with which Bauhaus had many exchanges and with which it's often compared.
Good one! Indeed, a Soviet equivalent 💪🏻 of the Bauhaus
I love art deco and Bauhaus architecture. Some of the industrial Bauhaus buildings are stunning.
2 years ago I was rejected from this architecture school by 2 points. Very dramatic because this school seems like heaven after this video. You gave me new ambition where to apply for my Masters degree in Architecture.
Interesting! As a professional fashion illustrator/designer and floral designer I owned two black leather and chrome Bauhaus inspired "Vasily" chairs in my home in the early 1970s and there have probably been other Bauhaus design inspired items like lamps in my home like a drawing table lamp as well without even realizing it. Probably true for a great many other people as well. I've also been into semi- vegetarian eating and meditation for decades but I didn't know that was an aspect of the original Bauhaus school! Thanks for sharing more info on this topic. One learns something new everyday!! Excellent job!
Glad to hear you liked it!
Very interesting and helpful.
Thank you so much.
I loved it ♡
Continue.
Thank you so much, we're very happy to hear it! We have a number of stories in development so more to come soon! :)
Excellent video as always team Curious Muse. Bauhaus had a significant impact amongst a network of young architects and thinkers in post independent India. A large part of the 50s and even the 60s in India saw the creation of some exemplified built structures with strong bauhaus influences. The Gandhi Ghat project along the hooghly River in Barrackpore, not far from Calcutta is a stunning example. So, safe to say the movement continues to live its legacy to this day.
Great channel, I subscribed. I’m from Tennessee and I’ve spent a few days at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. It’s been there for 100 years. It may have not been as great as Bauhaus but was a very important place for learning art and design. I loved it.
Sounds like a great school! 💪🏻 and welcome to our channel! 🥰
I'm very much reminded of the music video for True Faith by New Order.
The PSFS Building at 12th & Market Street in Philadelphia, Pa. completed in 1932, at 33 Stories tall is one of the largest,if not the largest, examples of BAUHAUS architectural design in the world. This former bank building was converted into a Loews Hotel. So if someone wants to visit and actually sleep in a work of art this the place to do it. I work in this beautiful building in the 1960’s and 1970’s when the interior of the building and many of its furnishings were of BAUHAUS design, including the letters PSFS still standing proudly on top the building.
This was interesting and so inspiring. I love the Bauhaus!
Thank you so much, Viv! ❤️✨✨
Thanks to Kandinskiy and Malevich!
A nice video, thanks!
I love Oskar Schlemmer's Traiadic Ballet and adore the original costumes in the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart (Germany). The Bauhaus-influenced architecture of Tel Aviv is a site well worth the visit if you're in Israel.
Closest I know of would be the Art Center College of Design which was fashioned after the Bauhaus.
I so much would have loved to be a part of that. I find it absolutely fascinating that puppetry was brought up in this documentary. As it is one of the oldest art forms on earth. I would love to see the school be reinstituted.
Bauhaus is the physiological gateway out of the matrix via philosophy
Thanks, i really enjoyed this. Especially since it helped me with my school Homework.
Woohoo, perfect 👍🏻
I would say that Johannes Itten was far-far more… His knowledge on color is absolutely mesmerizing and otherworldly. Thank you so much for the video!
If you’re interested in the topic of color theory at the Bauhaus, I recommend looking into the works of Josef Albers
i don’t know why you chanel isn’t blowing up. u should definitely pay for advertisements. it’s a great channel
It’s growing! 🚀 Have you been with us for some time?
Awesome info. Loved the modern tweet at the end LOL
Sorry, I might be wrong on this, but I'm pretty confident the Bauhaus building you're showing @0:04 is actually situated in Dessau-Roslau, not Weimar.
It is.
What an amazing video! Thank you
☺️👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for this video, I was waiting for it and searching it😊 Cool!
🥰
Wow it was amazing. I hope i had the chance to experience that experience.
Very concise video about Bauhaus. Congratulations! 👏
Glad you liked it! 👍🏻
great channel, helped me with my exam! keep it up!
Lovely, hopefully you got ‘A’ for your exam! 👍🏻
SUCH A GREAT VIDEO, THANK YOU !!!
Brilliant work 🙏
Hope you can talk more about architecture between the WWI and WWII
Keep the good work guys
😍🙏🏻
The BEST style ever.
Elegance.
Functionality.
Simplicity.
This is Bauhaus indeed 👌🏻
just masterpiece creation
Ah, thank you so much!
Love the video. Keep up the good work guys!
😍👍🏻
Sin duda alguna me gusto la simplicidad al usar las figuras geométricas, los colores básicos que empleaban y la visión que tenían, me gusto como comenzaron y no me agrado tanto como terminaron pero nos dejaron muchas cosas buenas y se les agradecerá por eso siempre, la belleza se puede ver en cualquier lugar, en cualquier cosa, en cualquier persona, en una casa, en la Bauhaus y en muchísimas mas.
Really Enjoyed this, working my way through the video collection so far Art Deco and Art Nouveau are my favorites. Bauhaus doesn't appeal to me aesthetically but these videos help me see there value, For me the interesting thing from this was how Bauhaus became a victim of the political repression of expression, and how any form of creativity can be seen as a threat to authoritarian governments and thus politicized; even if the creations themselves had no inherent Political objective.
Same for me. I'm struggling to equally appreciate other than Art Nouveau (mostly). Its variations are boundless as well as regional peculiarities. Gaudi's legacy is wonderful. Italian modernism was a nice mix. On smth recent, i like Hadid. But in between... Mmm... For example, Brutalism is literally painful for my brain ))) currently, urbanism in its full potential of aesthetics and utility amaze me most of all. Given the approaches and openness to its own mistakes, urbanism overlaps scientific, architectural, social and many other domains. It's just fascinating. It's so interesting how Bauhaus would operate now
Moholy Nage designed the Parker Pen that we know as the t-ball jotter. It is my favorite pen. I have always preferred them to any other pen.
The building is in Dessau, not Weimar. Have been there last weekend. It really has such a special vibe to it.
thanks!!! Excellent Greetings from Santiago 🇨🇱
We are having a Bauhaus themed party at our academy, I am so excited!
Wow such a cool idea!
Took me back to the educational snippets of Sesame Street.....trippy-dippy, hippies one and all. I LOVE IT!
I've been to Dessau but I didn't go see the Bauhaus, I really do regret not going. But I didn't know it was so famous.
I applaud the idea. However, I’m sorry to say I found the treatment in this video slick, slight and ultimately superficial. If the intention is to broaden arts and cultural curiosity, how about a series of 7 minute videos under the heading of Bauhaus (or whatever topic you’re treating).?
Thanks for the suggestion to make a series. We’ll see what’s possible 🙏🏻
it's the freedom that resulted in more unique creativity
Bauhaus is still influential in graphic design today.
👍🏻
At 2:18 there's a take of a supermarket trolley. Anyone knows where's it from?
The Bauhaus school at 0:04 is based in Dessau. After they closed the school in Weimar they moved 1925 to Dessau, the 2nd bauhaus.
As an American who understands art took the time to read about this Art School in Germany. Given the turmoil that followed when Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, it was the Stock Market crash in 1929 that was the beginning of the end of Bauhaus.
I find the balace of style and practicality intriguing.
I like form follows function.
Itten was key!! I read about four books from Schlemmer to Dearstyne. They were going to start as decorative school but Itten was like the spiritual/Japanese. Ispired Kandinsky for sure. Abtract and Modernism.
Thank you for this video! Soviet Vkhutemas had а quite similar spirit i think
I love all of your videos!
Thank you!!! 😘🙏🏻
Love my Audi TT MK1 with it's Bauhaus inspired design
Nice car you've got
Art Nouveaux, etc., is preferable to either Bauhaus or Art Deco perhaps due to temperament or aesthetic preference.
Greeeeeeeeeeat but Do I find sources to learn this thing? cuz I didn't find any one explain it and Thank U❤🔥
East Aurora NY Arts and Crafts school is amazing
I just found 10 vintage Bauhaus posters in an old box of posters and calendars from an estate sale …all different ones …. They are really cool ….I might put em up on eBay ….I can’t find any of these same ones on the internet anywhere .
Thank you for the fabulous video. There seem to be clips from a movie where students are engaging in assorted creative activities/experiments. Could you share the name of it please?
I’m new to the world of art and art criticism and analysis. I feel lost but I want to join the discourse. Any tips on what I should read to better analyze art? How should I look at a painting?
We'll soon launch an art course exactly to help with this -- stay tuned! :)
the building shown at 0:04 is in dessau, not weimar :)
Спасибо Вам огромное) Очень познавательно и хорошая, динамичная подача материала вкупе с приятным видеорядом. Успеха и развития Вашему каналу)
Спасибо! 😍🙏🏻
Many of the designs I see in the video were also created by the italian futurism, in the 1910's and 1920's. Bauhaus architecture was adopted in Italy during the fascist regime, on the opposite of Germany, and those buildings are still in use today.
that was a great video, what's the film/show used at the beginning (0:50 or 1:04) please?
Lotte am Bauhaus?
m.imdb.com/title/tt8503634/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1
Does this video show scenes from a film? Which one? Thanks
Thanks for the video! I think you've missed a really important point in which everyone worked closely together that fundamentally changed the industry forever. when each discipline worked autonomously, the Bauhaus brought them under the same roof which ties different industries together!
Me hubiese gustado más información sobre otras artes que adhirieron a la Bauhaus como pintura, escultura y fotografía
GREAT JOB 🎩🎩
Where is that quote from please? 2:46 'Rest and relaxation are no less important for creative thinking than work.' I would like to refer to it in my paper but cannot find it anywhere
Ah, we can’t find it either now - but there are neuroscience studies that confirm rest is linked to creativity
Does anyone know what the piece at 2:39 is called?
Pole Dance by Oskar Schlemmer 😊
@@CuriousMuse Thank you! Wonderful video💕
Great video! Where can we find the promotional movie that Gropius shot?
Oh, perhaps find it on IMDB and check out who owns copyright ©️
Amazing
😍👌🏻🎈
Love this video !!!
😍
It would be good to compare it with art and architecture which was popular or mainstream at that time, because I still don’t understand what was so revolutionary about Bahaus. Still need to make further research :)
I think thats pretty true I always get ideas from playing video games and watching movies
Inspiration and ideas come from anywhere! 🎉
Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY probably comes closest to the Bauhaus in the United States.
I love your videos!
😍🙏🏻
"But he would work late at the Bauhaus and only came home now and then. She said "What am I running, a chow house? It's time to change partners again!" From Tom Lehrer's "Alma" in memory of composer, author and editor Alma Schindler Mahler Gropius Werfel who was also Walter Gropius' ex-wife.
Thanks for sharing!
what is the movie in 1:08 ?
It’s called Lotte am Bauhaus, directed by Gregor Schnitzler.
triadische ballett has to be my favorite thing ever fr
😍
Another interesting video. So, did the Bauhaus inform and influence Art Deco in any way, or was the latter a rejection of it?
Bauhaus was rather created to oppose the delicate styles of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. But as every artist gets inspiration from outside, surely there were some interdependencies.
@@CuriousMuse OK - I understand, thanks. I have watched and enjoyed all three of you videos on these subjects. I know the time boundaries are flexible, but didn't Deco come after Bauhaus?
I love that you incorporated women in your story!!!
This was very interesting, as is the whole series. What is the name of the background music? That also was interesting.
Glad you found it interesting! 😍 Actually can’t remember what the background music we used by now 🙈 but if I do, I’ll let you know! 🙏🏻
@@CuriousMuse Thank you!
👍🏻
I'm doing an assignment on Bauhaus.
Can you cite the source for info @ 1:54 The shenanigans of Itten's pupils?
Good luck with your assignment! It comes from Bauhaus Archives.
that transition tune slaps
🤷🏻
That was new to me.
what's the clip at 2:14 from?
😱😱😱😱😱
It is my first video of this channel
💫FANTASTIC 💫
Welcome! Hope you will watch a few more and we’d love to hear what’s your favourite one? 😚
