Bauhaus Still In Our House After All These Years
The school itself lasted only 14 years, spent in three different cities. Yet its teachers included some of the great names of 20th-century art and design (Gropius, Kandinsky, Schlemmer, Mies Van Der Rohe, Klee). And its ideas are all round us: "Go into any IKEA superstore and you will see a sort of Bauhaus-Lite: knock-down shelving, lightweight furniture, geometrical lamps, bright colors, abstract patterns."
