Hoping for a nonfiction book about the Bauhaus school and movement, I was disappointed to find that this book has the bizarre fantasy conceit that the narrator is the actual Bauhaus school. That aside, it's not a particularly good introduction for anyone unfamiliar with the subject, as it assumes knowledge about the people involved and the events surrounding them and rushes through several decades pretty quickly. Proofreader Jonathan Fox let several errors through to boot. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"The main character of this extraordinary graphic novel is not a person but an idea--the school of Bauhaus, which arose in the wake of World War I, and emerged as the fundamental reference point for virtually every avant-garde artistic movement that followed. Visually arresting illustrations and engaging texts place the novel's protagonist squarely in the middle of the twentieth-century debate on the relationship between technology and culture. The novel is divided into three chapters that trace the evolution of the Bauhaus, as its center moved across Germany--from Weimar to Dessau to Berlin--and as its philosophy responded to this economically, politically and intellectually highly charged era in Europe. Sergio Varbella's inventive drawings bring to life the theories of founder Walter Gropius, as well as the basic design ideals of unity and equity. Valentina Grande's thoughtful texts highlight crucial moments within the movement's history and in the lives of principal figures such as Klee, Kandinsky, Albers, and Mies van der Rohe. The perfect introduction to a radical but highly influential chapter in the history of design, this novel shows how the Bauhaus school broke down barriers and built up ideals that are still applied today." -- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I had no idea that it was an actual school, as in pedagogical institute, rather than merely a group of like minded creative types. This definitely wet my appetite to learn more about Germany in the decadent 1920s... an area of study I've frankly long found generally off putting and of little interest.
It was a fast read, and an interesting one.
