A lecture highlighting chronological elements of World War II. I say at the beginning of the lecture I won't go through the European elements of the war, then I did exactly that! :-) Unfortunately, I used the classroom maps, so it might be good to watch this with access to a good map of the war (for example, at http://www.mapsofworld.com/world-maps/world-war-ii-map-of-europe.html)
The Bauhaus was an influential art and design school founded in Germany in 1919 that focused on developing a modern aesthetic. It emphasized integrating art, technology, and craftsmanship to generate new design philosophies. The school moved locations multiple times due to political opposition from the Nazi party, who saw it as communist, before ultimately being shut down in 1933. The Bauhaus still had a massive influence on modern design through the spread of its former teachers and students around the world.
The document discusses three major cities in Germany - Dusseldorf, Munich, and Frankfurt. It includes maps of Germany and photos of landmarks and attractions in each city, such as the New Town Hall in Munich, the English Garden in Munich, and the Deutsches Museum, also in Munich, which features technology and science exhibits. Photos of the skylines and streets of Frankfurt are also presented.
The Bauhaus was an influential art and design school that operated in Germany from 1919 to 1933. It was founded by architect Walter Gropius and brought together different art forms and crafts with the goal of creating a "total work of art." The school had a profound impact on modern art, architecture, graphic design and other fields. It emphasized simplicity and functionality of form and design.
De Stijl was an artistic movement founded in 1917 in Amsterdam that promoted pure abstraction and emphasized horizontal and vertical visual elements over diagonal ones. Key members included painters Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg, and architect Gerrit Rietveld. They published the journal De Stijl to propagate their principles of
Marianne Brandt was a German painter, sculptor, photographer and designer born in 1893 who worked at the Bauhaus school in the 1920s. She is famous for her functional modernist designs made of metal and glass, such as her teapot set from 1924. Brandt was influenced by Bauhaus teachers like László Moholy-Nagy and her designs in turn influenced modern furniture like the Wassily chair. She worked in the metal workshop at the Bauhaus and created lamps, cutlery, and other objects. Brandt passed away in 1983, leaving behind an influential body of work that helped shape industrial design in the 20th century.

THE BAUHAUS IN HISTORY
by Ben Davis
What does the Bauhaus mean to us, today?
This, more than anything else, is the question provoked by the recent
"Bauhaus" show at the Museum of Modern Art, as well as the various other
exhibitions and symposia that marked the 90th anniversary of the
legendary art school last year. In Artforum, K. Michael Hays answered the
question by saying that the Bauhaus represented a belief in the unifying
power of geometry, something we no longer can share. In the January Art
in America, Joan Ockman replies that the school may indeed still be
relevant -- but only the Expressionist early period, so different than what
we normally associate with the term "Bauhaus."
The Bauhaus was more than just an idea, of course, it was an actual
institution. That institution’s historical background figures in each of these
accounts -- to a point. In general, however, what strikes me is how
bloodless most descriptions of the Bauhaus are. History appears more or
less the way it did at the MoMA show, as a timeline outside the galleries;
that is, as ornament, not as integral to understanding the meaning of the
artwork. To truly recover the spark of relevance of Bauhaus practice, you
need to thoroughly dig into what happened in Germany in the years 1919-
1933 -- to put the history back into art history, so to speak.
Four giant facts that loomed over the founding of the Bauhaus in 1919:
* World War I, 1914-1918. The War killed some two million Germans, and
left Germany’s economy -- then the world’s second largest -- in shambles.
The conflict had begun in 1914 with substantial working-class support, on
all sides. It ended with German soldiers in revolt against their officers, and
a deep hatred of the leaders who had initiated the hostilities. Many
Bauhaus students were veterans of the war. Walter Gropius, its first
director, served on the Western Front, was wounded, and won two Iron
Crosses.
* The Russian Revolution of 1917. Growing out of war fatigue, a successful
Marxist-led revolution on Germany’s doorstep overthrew a much-loathed
Czar and replaced him, for heroic moments, with history’s most far-
ranging experiment in worker-run government (soon to be strangled by
civil war and reaction). The Russian example ignited a wide-spread
enthusiasm for social experiment and revolutionary politics, in Germany
and elsewhere.
* The German Revolution of 1918. In November, the discredited German
Kaiser fled the country; the German Empire became the German Republic.
Inspired by the October Revolution, the next months saw power pass over
into a woolly collection of grassroots workers and soldiers councils across
the country. Authority was soon consolidate.
Jean-Michel Basquiat had a tragic life that ended too soon, but he made significant contributions to art. He was born to immigrant parents and showed artistic talent from a young age. After his parents separated, he lived on the streets for a time before finding success as a graffiti artist. His work rose to fame and he became a prominent figure in the Neo-expressionism and Punk Art movements. However, his life was cut short by a heroin overdose at age 27. Despite this, his legacy lives on as an inspiration to contemporary artists.

The document discusses Art Deco poster art in interwar Hungary. It provides historical context for the rise of Art Deco tastes and styles. The period between the World Wars was one of economic and political turmoil in Hungary following losses after WWI. Art Deco posters emerged as a form of popular culture that depicted luxury and beauty, providing an escape for the public. The document examines the development of Hungarian poster art from the late 19th century influences through the Art Nouveau period to the rise of Modernist and Constructivist styles in the interwar years. It explores how Modernist and Art Deco styles were sometimes interwoven in posters, combining functional design with decorative elements that appealed to middle class tastes.
Bauhaus was an influential German art school that operated from 1919 to 1933 under three different directors in three German cities. It focused on integrating art, craft, and technology, and emphasized rational design and functionality. Many notable artists and designers taught there, spreading its Modernist approach around the world. The school was controversial under the Nazis and ultimately forced to close in 1933.

Prominent pop artists mentioned include Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Keith Haring. The document outlines tasks for idea generation, action planning, and production of a pop art poster, focusing on Keith Haring's work.
Iconology is the study and interpretation of symbols and images within their cultural and historical contexts. It aims to understand the deeper meanings represented in works of art beyond their literal subject matter. Key figures who developed the field include Aby Warburg, who emphasized the transmission of classical imagery over time, and Erwin Panofsky, who established a three-level method of iconographic analysis moving from basic description to cultural and historical interpretation. The systematic study of iconography flourished in 16th century Italy and was advanced in the early 20th century by Panofsky and others who brought more rigorous methodologies to the classification and interpretation of visual symbols and themes.
Andreas Gursky is a German artist born in 1955 known for his large-scale digitally manipulated photographs. His most expensive photograph, Rhein II from 1999, sold for $4.3 million in 2011. Gursky often takes photographs from elevated positions and splices together multiple images of the same scene to create a surreal monumentality. He studied under Bernd and Hilla Becher and was influenced by their systematic documentation as conceptual framework. Gursky's works are now in prominent museum collections worldwide and he lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The document discusses the Bauhaus school founded in 1919 in Germany by architect Walter Gropius. It operated until 1933, focusing on bringing together art and craftsmanship. Key figures included Kandinsky, Klee, and Moholy-Nagy who experimented with forms, materials, and graphic design. The Bauhaus style later influenced graphic design, seen in Obama's 2008 campaign that used Bauhaus cues to appeal to Germans familiar with the design language.
Hannah Hoch was a German Dada artist known for her photomontages criticizing mass beauty standards, media, and racial discrimination from 1926-1935. She used cut up newspapers rearranged to comment on politics and the Weimar government. Her contemporary work was both fine art and could have commercial uses like advertising.
Raoul Haussmann was a key figure in Berlin Dada, specializing in experimental photo collages inspired by Hannah Hoch, Otto Gross, and Franz Jung. His most famous work "The Mechanical Head" is one of the only surviving pieces from 1919-1920. While traditional in materials, his work was contemporary and would have been displayed in galleries for artistic purposes though possibly with
Expressionism was an artistic movement that originated in Germany in the early 20th century. It focused on distorting reality and exaggerating emotions to express inner experiences. Major expressionist groups included Die Brücke, Der Blaue Reiter, and Die Neue Sachlichkeit. Pioneering expressionist artists like Edvard Munch, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and Emil Nolde used vivid colors, dynamic forms, and exaggeration to convey emotion and subjective experience over realistic representation. Expressionism had a significant influence on painting, but also theater, literature, dance, and film during this period.
The Stereoscopic Photo Album as Nazi PropagandaDouglas Klahr
This document summarizes a scholarly article about a 1941 Nazi propaganda photo album titled "Vienna, The Pearl of the Reich". The album featured 100 stereoscopic photos of Vienna taken by four photographers. It presented an ambiguous version of Vienna that both flattered the city's cultural history but also emphasized its role as an economic center of the Nazi Reich. The album was published by Heinrich Hoffmann's stereoscopic publishing house, which had unusual freedom from the Nazi Ministry of Propaganda due to Hoffmann's close relationship with Hitler. Each stereoscopic photo could only be viewed individually using a stereoscope, undermining the idea of shared experience emphasized in other Nazi propaganda.
The document discusses the origins and key figures of the International Typographic Style (Swiss Style) of graphic design that developed in 1950s Switzerland. It emphasizes clean layouts with sans-serif fonts, grids, and asymmetrical designs. Figures like Müller-Brockmann, Frutiger, and Hofmann helped define the style through their magazine and book designs, typeface creations like Helvetica and Univers, and emphasis on grids and readability. The style had a large influence on graphic design internationally.

1. Straight photography emerged in the early 20th century as an objective style that aimed to capture scenes without manipulation. One pioneer was Alfred Stieglitz, who depicted everyday modern life in photos like The Terminal.
2. Dada emerged during World War 1 as an anti-art movement that used absurdity, humor, and found objects to critique bourgeois society. Key figures included Marcel Duchamp, whose Fountain challenged notions of art, and Hannah Höch, who created political photomontages.
3. Surrealism built on Dada's interests but sought to access the subconscious through techniques like automatic drawing and exquisite corpses. Artists included Salvador Dali, who vividly depicted psychological

Straight photography emerged in the early twentieth century and was a way of thinking about
photography as independent and unique from other artistic media like painting. It attempted to capture a
scene as objectively as possible therefore it didn't rely on methods of photographic manipulation. One of
the first photographers to experiment with straight photography was Alfred Stieglitz in the late nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries. He would often employ straight photography to depict everyday scenes of
modern life as seen in his photograph The Terminal.

When you look at Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain, a factory-produced urinal he submitted as a
sculpture to the 1917 exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists in New York, you might
wonder just why this work of art has such a prominent place in art history books.
Marcel Duchamp, Fountain (original), photographed by Alfred Stieglitz in 1917 after its rejection by the Society of
Independent Artists
You would not be alone in asking this question. In fact, from the moment Duchamp purchased
the urinal, flipped it on its side, signed it with a ...
The Bauhaus was one of the first colleges of design, founded in Weimar, Germany in 1919. It was innovative in its approach to art and design education. Walter Gropius was the founder and first director, influencing the school with his ideas about integrating art, craft, and technology. The Bauhaus brought together many outstanding artists and architects and is known for its emphasis on simplified forms and functional design.
This document provides an overview of Abstract Expressionism, a major American art movement that developed in New York City during the 1940s and 1950s. It notes that many European artists immigrated to New York during World War 2, influencing the development of innovative artworks through cross-pollination of ideas. Key Abstract Expressionist artists mentioned include Pollock, de Kooning, Rothko, and Kline. The movement is described as the first truly American school of art that was internationally influential until the rise of Pop Art in the 1960s.

Hans Hofmann: Portrait Of
Scientist As An Artist
JANUARY 10, 2017FEBRUARY 23, 2017 / MARK BORGHI
Several exhibits in the Mark Borghi
(h ps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-borghi) Fine Art gallery have
harkened to the abstract expressionism of German painter Hans
Hofmann. In 2016, the Frank Stella retrospective called to mind
Hofmann’s arbitration of both European Modernism and American
Contemporary art as a teacher in the U.S., fresh from emigrating
from Nazi Germany.

Hofmann’s imprint among modern artists in New York was also
honored in a 2014 retrospective dedicated to the man himself. Hans
Hofmann : A Retrospective (2014) bursts with the free coloring of a
painter not given to excess in artistic expression. He once issued an
aphorism favoring the relation of a painting’s elements to each
other —space and color, to be exact— and the elimination of the
superfluous to give way to coherent abstract paintings that truly
inhabit the spaces they occupy.
Backing such artistic conviction is an awareness of the elegance of
science. Before Hofmann was an art teacher in both Munich and
New York, he harbored a deeply ingrained Germanic penchant for
science and mathematics. At age 16, he was assistant to the Director
of Public Works of Bavaria, an experience that inspired his
patenting of tools such as a naval radar, a portable freezer, and a
sensitized light bulb. One could argue that such inventions with
straightforward use bore similarities in principle with his brand of
visual abstraction.
Image source : Borghi.org (h p://borghi.org/wp-
content/uploads/2016/07/cmb000233-300x259.png)
Form, color, and space are three elements that are just as important
in scientific invention. His focus on these would make Hofmann
gravitate naturally to the works of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso,
whose employment of color and form, respectively would inform
the voluminous number of paintings Hofmann would produce
throughout his life.
In 2017, the works of Hans Hofmann will once again be on display at
Mark Borghi Fine Art, along with the works of Milton Avery. Read the
exhibit write-up on this website (h p://borghi.org/exhibitions).
