The Bauhaus was an art and design school emerging from an artistic circle with a distinctly expressionist Vision. The Bauhaus sought to produce a new kind of artist by blending theory with practice in pursuit of holistic education and a unity of the arts.
The Bauhaus Beginnings exhibition marks the centenary of the school’s founding. Focusing on the relationship between expressionism, abstraction, and modernist thought as played out through various forms of pedagogical exchange, the exhibition highlights the Getty Research Institute’s extensive collection of Bauhaus material, including student work, teaching resources, and rare prints, drawings, and photographs.
