Bauhaus and Bauhaus People

New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. Fine in Fine dj. (c.1993). Revised Edition First Printing. Hardcover. [nice, as-new copy, with no discernible wear to either book or jacket]. (B&W photographs, facsimiles) "Bauhaus! More than seventy years after its founding by the legendary Gropius, the name still has magic. The influence of this small German school on architecture, industrial design, graphic design, and art education has been incalculable." To explore the school's character and influence, the author "went to the Bauhaus people and asked them for their reminiscences, their opinions, their analyses of the Bauhaus experience in the twenties and thirties and the postwar years. This book is a collection of pieces by fifty-three men and women who intimately knew and loved the Bauhaus." Included is a reproduction and translation of the original Bauhaus Manifesto from 1919. This "revised edition" seems to be less common than the original (1970) U.S. printing, although there's no explanation anywhere in the book about the nature of the revisions. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.**** .
