| Summary: | Celebrating the centennial of a groundbreaking School of Art and Design, this volume marks the founding of the Bauhaus with a visual exploration of its most underrated members. While the institution provided women with new opportunities in education, along the way, they were faced with unreasonable family expectations, the ambiguous attitude of the faculty and administration, outdated social conventions and, ultimately, the political repression of the Nazi regime. With almost 400 portrait photographs taken between 1919 and 1933, Bauhaus mädels creates a visual impression of the women artists who attended the most progressive art school of the 20th century and, departing from there, often changed the world of art, architecture, design and even politics. Biographical data sheds light on each artist's individual struggle, persistence in the face of adversity and incredible accomplishments. In this grand family album, we discover a group of unique trailblazers whose legacy paved the way for women artists after them. |
