In 1954, Bauhaus-trained architect Marcel Breuer designed St. John's Abbey Church in Minnesota. The Brutalist complex includes a concrete tower housing 5 bells which sound the hours and call the monastic community to prayer. Directly behind the bell tower, the honeycomb-shaped church facade is the largest wall of stained glass in the world, containing 430 colorful hexagons of abstract design.

The Bauhaus, 1919–1933
Tumblr media
Paul Klee (Swiss, 1879-1940) • Senecio or Head of a Man Going Senile • 1922 • Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland
“A drawing is simply a line going for a walk.“ – Paul Klee
The Bauhaus was founded in 1919 in the city of Weimar by German architect Walter Gropius (1883–1969). Its core objective was a radical concept: to reimagine the material world to reflect the unity of all the arts. Gropius explained this vision for a union of art and design in the Proclamation of the Bauhaus (1919), which described a utopian craft guild combining architecture, sculpture, and painting into a single creative expression. Gropius developed a craft-based curriculum that would turn out artisans and designers capable of creating useful and beautiful objects appropriate to this new system of living.

"Form follows function" (Bauhaus design principle)
Tumblr media
Marcel Breuer (Hungarian-German, 1902-1981) • B3 “Wassily” Armchair • 1925 • chrome-plated steel, canvas upholstery • Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City
"I am as much interested in the smallest detail as in the whole structure." – Marcel Breur
Tumblr media
Annie Albers (German, 1899-1994) • Wall tapestry • Designed, 1925; woven, 1983
"Creating is the most intense excitement one can come to know." –Annie Albers
The Bauhaus was eventually closed under pressure from the Nazi regime, which branded the school, and modernism in general, as un-German.
