In this volume of the Bauhausbücher, he attempts to make elementary concepts in the visual arts generally comprehensible. He was addressing the “modern artist” of his day, who had to deal with both shifting social paradigms and a changing understanding of art and art theory. Van Doesburg describes theory as a necessary consequence of creative practice. Artists, he says, “do not write about art but from within art.”","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309692825973,"sku":"9783037786291","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783037786291_7d28431a-adbf-41ca-a350-f1fac4c81ad4.jpg?v=1786031761"},{"product_id":"9783037784686","title":"Pioneer of Swiss Graphic Design","description":"A new edition showing the work of one of the most famous Swiss designers: a comprehensive overview of his oeuvre.

It is simple and clean, and commonly seen in advertising, signage, and literature. The R has a curved leg, and the i and j have square dots. The Q has a straight angled tail, and the counterforms inside the O, Q, and C are oval. It is an all-purpose type design that can deliver practically any message clearly and efficiently. It is one of the most popular typefaces of all time. Helvetica: Homage to a Typeface presents 400 examples of Helvetica in action, selected from two diametrically opposed worlds. Superb applications by renowned designers are juxtaposed with an anonymous collection of ugly, ingenious, charming, and hair-raising samples of its use.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309997470069,"sku":"9783037780466","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783037780466_7c682f87-f2e4-4547-8c2e-9d37bcefa8f1.jpg?v=1786031732"},{"product_id":"9783037786239","title":"State Bauhaus in Weimar 1919–1923","description":"In 1919, the state art school in Weimar was reopened under the direction of Walter Gropius, with a radical teaching approach and under the new name Bauhaus. Four years passed before the first exhibition took place, which conveyed a new approach to art to the enthusiastic public and carried the school’s ideas all over the world.   The catalogue Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar 1919–1923 was published in 1923 to accompany this first public appearance. In this interdisciplinary oeuvre catalogue, the idea and potential of the Bauhaus found their way onto paper for the first time. In addition to numerous project presentations, the theoretical approaches of Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Gertrud Grunow convey the teaching methods of the various workshops. Gropius’ preface traces the structure of the State Bauhaus and presents the unique reformation approach that demands and teaches the unity of technology and art. The illustrations from the various workshops also show projects by students whose connection to the Bauhaus is less known.   With the original layout by László Moholy-Nagy and the cover designed by Herbert Bayer, the book is an important testimony to that legendary avant-garde movement. This facsimile is supplemented by a commentary that places this publication, rare and long out of print, in a historical context and documents the Bauhaus from its idea to its establishment as a renowned art and design school.   The German facsimile is accompanied by the first full English translation of the catalogue, making it accessible to an international audience.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56313278005621,"sku":"9783037786239","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783037786239_45fa0d3e-ea33-4af6-9790-77f1829124fb.jpg?v=1786031758"},{"product_id":"9783037786284","title":"The Theater of the Bauhaus – Bauhausbücher 4, 1925","description":"The fourth volume presents the main characteristics of the Bauhaus concept of the stage. It was essentially shaped by Oskar Schlemmer, who had taken over the stage department in 1923. László Moholy-Nagy took an interest in abstract kinetic and luminary phenomena which he examines in his essay “Theatre, Circus, Variété.” Farkas Molnár focused for his part on stage architecture, which he discusses in detail in this volume.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56313278071157,"sku":"9783037786284","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783037786284_e068169a-8e4e-495f-a420-2d5d8f771fa2.jpg?v=1786445683"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-lars-muller.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
