This document discusses several influential artists and architects active in Europe during the early 20th century who experimented with new styles and ideas that paved the way for modern art and design. It focuses on pioneers like Modigliani, Matisse and Picasso in France; De Stijl movement members like Mondrian in the Netherlands; and Bauhaus founders Walter Gropius and László Moholy-Nagy in Germany who integrated art, craft and architecture. Many developed modernist styles that rejected realistic representation in favor of abstraction and minimal forms inspired by industrial materials and processes.

61. Walter Gropius

62. “Architects, painters, and sculptors must
recognize anew and learn to grasp the
composite character of a building both as
an entity and in its separate parts. Only
then will their work be imbued with the
architectonic spirit which it has lost as
''salon art.'' Together let us
desire, conceive, and create the new
structure of the future, which will embrace
architecture and sculpture and painting in
one unity and which will one day rise
toward heaven from the hands of a million
workers like the crystal symbol of a new
faith.”
Walter Gropius
