Great book about a great school, Feb 26 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bauhaus (Paperback)
Bauhaus was one of the most important movements in design-history.Magdalena Drosta describes the ideas, the people, the work and the spirit of the Bauhaus. The best thing: It is never boring. The book does not only concentrate on the art taught at the Bauahaus but also describes its political problems.
A lot of excellent pictures in a good priniting quality (especially in relation to the price) make this a book, you always like to look at.

What makes this one stand out as a must read book about Bauhaus, May 11 2006
By K. Corn "reviewer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bauhaus: 1919-1933 (Hardcover)
If you want a comprehensive historical information as well as tons of full color photos of all sorts of Bauhaus inspired works -from architecture to practical objects - this is the book you should have. Open it and read a single article, think about it and close the book. Or browse through the photos and marvel at the teapots, the furniture, the architectural style.You can savor this one slowly (and I think you should) rather than trying to read it through all at once. If you do that, you'll start to get a sense of the Bauhaus style and how it fits into the particular period when it came into being - and how it grew and evolved from there.

Excellent source for Bauhaus visual info, Oct 1 2005
By sparkling angel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bauhaus: 1919-1933 (Paperback)
While this book offers an excellent collection of images related to the Bauhaus, it traces the history and the development of the Bauhaus comprehensively as well.This book, alongwith Eva Forgacs' Bauhaus Idea and Bauhaus Politics can give you a general idea about what the institution was all about.
Its an amazing read.
