About Bauhaus

Walter Gropius founded the school in Weimar in 1919, and in 1923 it held its first large exhibition; Joost Schmidt designed one of its posters. Oskar Schlemmer, head of the stage workshop, created “Das Triadische Ballett”. “Die Bühne im Bauhaus” is a volume of the Bauhausbücher series, “Offset: Buch und Werbekunst” a cover for a printing journal.

Paul Klee taught at the Bauhaus from 1921 to 1931; “Ghost of a Genius”, “The Rose Garden” and “Full Moon” are his. Piet Mondrian’s “Composition with Blue, Yellow, Black and Red” belongs to De Stijl, the Dutch movement of primary colours and grids. The other compositions, from a spatial diagram to a red graphic face, share that vocabulary. Posters and paintings alike are giclée prints with pigment inks, made to order in Berlin on matte 210 g/m² fine art paper or 400 g/m² cotton canvas, in sizes A4 to A0.
