Great documentary! Bauhaus legacy should be more promoted. It paved the way to modernism, designers and brands like: Dieter Rams, Braun, Ikea and Apple. Inspiring how such an open minded and international mindset could impact whole design world.
Thank you for this , most informative , I have always been fascinated by the Bauhaus . Will now try to read the book by Tom Wolfe as I think he is a great writer
It’s a shame that they focused only on the expansion of the Bauhaus in the USA. Although some of it’s most important figures have moved and taught there the Bauhaus really flourished in other countries and made a local revolution in the cityscape and the way of life like in the city of Tel Aviv which allot of the Jewish students of the Bauhaus school fled to and found it’s vast white sand plots as a blank canvas to express the ideas and ideals they were taught back in Germany. It was recognized as an UNESCO world heritage site for that.
Walter Gropius, a true progressive, Itten, colour theorist excellent, Klee, Kandinsky, Schlemmer. I did two year Foundation, and attended three art schools. All previous education becomes irrelevant. If you haven't been to art school it will be difficult to understand the experience it brings. We could call it how to make an individual.
I wish they would tellabout Bauhaus more, much of its life was not shown. We are showed how Itten dances with his students and about his esoteric religious views but nothing about what is particular about this person - his unique colour teaching method. Nothing is about Kandinsky and Paul Klee work, however they were great Bauhaus artists of their time whose work much influenced modern art and design. Cannot tell that this documentary is perfect, it obviously could be filmed much better and more informative.
Yes, Bauhaus was, and is, very influential to modern art and modern thinking. But the movement was far more international, much wider, unstoppable, than only this famous institute. The seeds were spread immediately after WWI and Bauhaus was a cultivating center, stimulus, though not the single origin. Would like to have seen a wider picture.
Now I know where the research psychologist JB Rhine got his ideas from (he was renowned as THE prime researcher into mental telepathy, using basic shapes as his stimuli)
I have some doubts about the historical accuracy of the video. However, overall, it is an enjoyable and must-watch piece for artists, designers, and architects around the world
@@tankinam it "leaves without elaborating absolute cinema"? I'm not sure what this means, but if you mean that it didn't elaborate on every detail given, I suppose you could argue that there are a bunch of instances where elaboration could occur. But then again, it would need to be a multi-part series instead of a single video. Anyway, I'm not sure what the comment alludes to, so I could be wrong.
@@SomewhatAbnormal Its a current meme. The arrows and *Leaves without elaborating* is reference to 4chan greentext format. Absolute cinema is a current sarcastic reaction image
Interesting with captions on since your background music overwhelms all the vocal audio, which is too low in the mix. Mute the background music to not drown out the voiceovers on future videos.
A country where The Neo Nazi are granted the right to protest and freely express their views, yet anti-genocide and anti-colonial rallies are suppressed, reflects a deeply troubling contradiction in German principles.
i think it is more the other way around. The left censor free speech. Islamists and radical left are constantly protesting the situtaion in Israel and Palestine. Protests from local people scared of the change of society brought about by uncontrolled migration from , in particular, Muslim countries are labelled neo-nazi, demonized and suppressed.
I thought rococo was pretty cool too. Unfortunately today the most visible designers only seem to work for the uber rich. The rest are part of a cycle of planned obsolescence. I thought the artisanal nature of the education that took place there had merit but the model was rarely imitated in a coherent manner other than borrowing typefaces and letter heads.
I love bauhaus but you have to question art movements that fail to enrich the lives of the majority of the citizens of the community in which the art is being created. Im not saying bauhaus did not create meaningful art. But Bauhaus prides itself on its "form follows function" aesthetic philosophy but it was still very guilty of "art for art's sake". I can see what an easy target the art world became for Hitler to use as a tool to turn the average German against the "elites". You have to admit they were a bit insufferable. I can kind of see how us on the left have a tendency to mystify artists and art movements. In the past especially, the arts were for the privileged, intellectual, and the wealthy. And the modern art they created did nothing to decrease the alienation the working class and even some in the middle class felt towards them. Worse, the artists did nothing to connect their art to the towns peopled lives, had disdain for them, - they were alien to the farmers, industrial workers, etc. The artist made little to no attempt to connect with the towns people. They truly had an elitist mentality toward them. In fact they went out of their way to seperate themselves from them and even vandalize their statues. Complex stuff and mixed emotions i have for the art world.
Bauhaus killed the sense for beauty and that is why we are still missing something in our lives. We are left with poor IKEA aesthetic around ourselves. Sad times.
Bauhaus is basically everything that's wrong and ugly with modern design. Architecture peaked before the 20th century. Proof? People pay to fly to distant cities to visit the buildings of the 17th, 18th and 19th century not the 20th. Design? Bauhaus were the pioneers of the functional era. Functional, simple, practical, soulless. We were going to go there anyway, if it weren't them, it would have been others.
At age 21, I visited the bauhaus in Dusseau in 1990, just 6 months after the collapse of the berlin wall and the soviet union. I sensed depression, complacency, conformity and no sense of free will or inspiration. Perhaps this was due in part to Soviet Control from the end of WW2 until my visit there. They looked us American students like Capitalist animals. Our girls wore jewelry, makeup and designer clothes, they , however, dressed like pheasants, Bolsheviks and typical socialist low class people. I was not impressed. I felt it was always a dark place full of atheism, self glorification and not the advancement of society. The advancement of gays and lesbian jew hippies was way ahead of our 1960s civil rights and hippie movement in America. I saw that there in 1990. 30 years before our LGBTQ movement. The fact that this is being dissolved worldwide and right-wing, pro nuclear white families- without cross breeding and dillution, distillation of pure bloodlines is making strong comebacks proves this mindset fails over time. I am not against collaborative groups, bringing different minds in STEM together, but Architecture has no place in sexual politics or revolution. This crossed the line and is what led to the jews dancing and praising Baal building a golden bull to worship him which angered God and he pulverized them. The separation of Lewdness and Lasciviousness in Architecture must be defended. I am not saying we need Architecture to be run by people like Albert Speer or NAZI architects but they did have a right to stop what was going on there. It was a far departure from the town and the German conservative Nation. I was an Architecture student then in Miami, Florida, and I loved the old Germany. All of the post modernist form followed function Architecture I saw from Meis, Khan, Speer, Gropius and Behrens appeared cold, dead and lifeless. It had no place in America and ironically it fed our free market but Jew run Capitalist system and spat in the face of the original founders intentions. Form follows function makes boring cars, boring buildings and boring humans, we need Hansel and Grettle Architecture and Tudor Architecture, the rest of this is all mere cookie cutter, Towers of Babel and serve Molech not Jehova. God didn't design nature and earth with right angles and hard lines. It flows like water and is soft.

Excellent documentary
I was literally just looking for this documentary last week and couldn't find it, thank you for uploading!
I am obsessed with all. I highly appreciate your efforts to put the sea in a cup.
I heard about the Bauhaus when I was studying design, but this aspect of the school was not explored during my studies. Great work!
Thankyou very much for uploading this.
Thanks for the upload.
Really enjoyed this, thank you!!
Thank you for showing a hidden history in an interesting way.
Outstanding documentary! Thanks!!!
Absolutely incredible, lots of love and thank you for sharing it.

Kreativität ist für Gesellschaften oft schwer zu akzeptieren, und das Bauhaus ist ein gutes Beispiel dafür.

Well nice documentary... but some of the stock footage was just completely wrong. Anyway: Please go visit Dessau!
I have some doubts about the historical accuracy of the video. However, overall, it is an enjoyable and must-watch piece for artists, designers, and architects around the world
It would good to identify some of these doubts?
If you could give us examples, it would be fantastic. I love historical accuracy.

> leaves without elaborating

Who thought of dropping aphex in the middle of the doc?
Aphex Twin? - I think I heard Twisted Firestarter by Prodigy. It seemed out of place given the context - spirituality. Lol

Was there not even one second this video was not polluted by some type of background music?
I prefer my books about the Bauhaus.
Eerie similarities with modern times.

He was born and studied in Moscow. Spent part of his childhood in Russophone Odessa, which became part of Ukraine in 1991.
