Weaving Through Design History: Bauhaus

Bauhaus was an art school located in Germany open from 1919 till 1933. If the Great Exhibition of 1851 is considered the BC to AD moment in Graphic Design history, the Bauhaus could be remembered as the moment design dove head first into the modern era. Not only was modern design rooted heavily in this school, but industrial design and minimalism became a focus as well.

Even though it was closed by the Nazi party in 1933 (due to the belief that it was teaching and encouraging communistic thought), its fleeing artists would spread their ideals across the world in the following years.
