Founded by architect Walter Gropius in Germany back in 1919, the Bauhaus movement's objective was to unite art and industry whilst focusing on functionality, style, and design features like geometrics and bold color. He formed the Bauhaus school which went on to be the most influential modernist art school of the 20th Century.
The aim was to give soul to functional design by incorporating fine art, and out of this came furniture designs from the likes of Ludwig Mies van den Rohe and Marcel Breuer, paintings from Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, graphic design from Herbert Bayer and architecture like the Bauhaus building in Dessau, Germany.
