Bauhaus Art

The clear, geometric design language of Bauhaus continues to shape the world today. At LUMAS, you can discover Bauhaus images and Bauhaus-style art – from graphic compositions to modern architectural photography. Sabine Wild, for example, presents the Dessau Masters’ House as an abstract, geometric image surface. Jens Hausmann combines architecture with nature, creating striking contrasts in the Brazilian jungle. In the works of Horst & Daniel Zielske, Bauhaus architecture is revealed in its clear photographic language. And with the handcrafted model by Chisel & Mouse, you can bring the iconic Bauhaus building by Walter Gropius directly into your home. Bauhaus lives on – in modern art and photography.

In 1919, architect Walter Gropius founded the Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar during a time of industrial transformation. The goal was to unite art, craft, and design while breaking down social barriers between artists and craftsmen.

Bauhaus combined architecture, painting, and applied arts into a new functional design philosophy. Following the principle “form follows function”, it created a reduced and clear visual language that still defines modern design today.

Artists such as Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky taught at the Bauhaus, making it one of the most influential art schools of the 20th century. After moving from Weimar to Dessau, the Bauhaus was closed in 1933 under political pressure – but its influence continues worldwide to this day.
