M: Interesting lecture today, didn’t you think?
W: Well, I suppose. But I’ve never heard of the Bauhaus, so I’m not clear on something. Was it some place you should go to, or was it more of a genre or a movement of some sort, you know, like the Brooklyn impressionism?
M: No. It was an actual design school located in Germany, founded by Walter Gropius. His goal was to combine technical skills and artistic talent and by doing this create a new form of architecture and applied arts.
W: OK, so that explains why the professor mentioned how certain people had to study with both a crafts person and an artist.
M: Right. Before anybody could actually begin their formal training, they had to take workshops where they were taught both by a crafts person, who emphasized technical expertise, and an artist.
W: Interesting!
M: And the Bauhaus founders also departed from the notion of arts being a form of luxury object. They wanted to produce functional art to be enjoyed by everybody, not just the wealthy.
W: Weren’t they making some sort of social statements?
M: Perhaps... I don’t know. But it did mean that Bauhaus’ creations have their own artistic beauty. And, instead of being individually hand-crafted like something you see in the... I don’t know, Gothic cathedral, they were produced by machines in large quantities.
W: Is the Bauhaus still around?
M: I don’t think so. But judging by the amount of time on our class schedule, its great effects still remain.
