Bauhaus: Less Is More

This program provides an outstanding historical overview of Bauhaus, the most controversial and forward-looking school of art and design of its time. The conflicting artistic philosophies of the school’s key figures are considered, from Walter Gropius’ espousal of expressionism to László Moholy-Nagy’s overriding belief that fewer aesthetic ambitions would yield more functional products—that less is more. With a stellar faculty that also included Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Breuer, Josef Albers, and Mies van der Rohe, the Bauhaus inspired the artistic and constructivist principles that gave rise to many icons of 20th-century design and architecture.
