The Staatliches Bauhaus art school was founded in 1919 in Weimar, Germany, and from then onwards the minimalistic, “form follows function” style has become a solid influence art, design and architecture. One hundred years since its founding, German publisher Lars Müller, in collaboration with Bauhaus-Archiv and Museum für Gestaltung, Berlin, put together a significant piece of art for the iconic movement.

With key voices of the Bauhaus movement such as Josef Albers, Walter Gropius, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, László Moholy-Nagy, Oskar Schlemmer and more all shared their insights as well as fellow students and masters’ latest projects on the journal.
