<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bauhaus, a revolutionary Modernist movement that emerged from the chaos of World War I, transformed the art, design, crafts, and architecture of the 20th century. The style and spirit persist even today, from IKEA\u2019s furniture all the way up to\u00a0Mies van der Rohe<\/a>\u2019s Chicago skyscrapers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Bauhaus (literally, \u201chouse of building\u201d) school of art and design opened in Weimar, Germany, in 1919. Founded by architect\u00a0Walter Gropius, its \u201cpreliminary course,\u201d supervised by the revered artist-teacher\u00a0Josef Albers, taught form and color theory, composition, life drawing, and visual analysis.\u00a0Albers\u2019 wife,\u00a0Anni, (considered the greatest textile designer of the 20th century) taught weaving and design. More advanced art courses were led by Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and the like.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cherished are Josef Hartwig\u2019s wooden chess pieces and the Marianne Brandt<\/a> half-spherical, shiny metal tea kettle. The iconic Bauhaus building itself, so radical for its day, well, it\u2019s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the graphic design, paintings, lamps, lights, stacking tables, chairs, carpets, and tapestries that flowed from Bauhaus creators, its architecture was so profoundly transformative that we take it for granted today in our skyscrapers, public buildings, and homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bauhaus architects embraced new construction techniques and materials. Rather than conceal a building\u2019s structural components, they would showcase beam, truss, and rafter. They shunned the elaborate and merely decorative in favor of geometric rigor, minimalist simplicity and richness of material that delighted the eye.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bauhaus would conquer the world in the 1950s and \u201860s. But the rise of the Nazi Party in the late \u201820s and early \u201830s put an end to the Bauhaus School. In 1933, the Bauhaus building in Dessau was shuttered. By 1945, it was a bombed-out ruin.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our function dictates our form. Thus, Luxury Defined<\/em> simply cherishes these Bauhaus-inspired luxury homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
