Simplified Forms, Geometrical and Highly Hefined

The Bauhaus school a.k.a the house of construction was created by Walter Crupius in Germany form 1919 to 1933. In spite of its name, and the fact that its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus did not have an architectural department during the first years of its existence. Nonetheless, it was founded with the idea of creating a 'total' work of art in which all arts, including architecture would eventually come together.
The characteristic Bauhaus style was simplified forms, geometrical and highly refined.

The Bauhaus had a major impact on art and architecture trends in Western Europe, the United States, Canada and Israel in the decades following its demise, as many of the artists involved fled, or were exiled, by the Nazi regime.

Josef Albers was a painter, poet, sculptor, art theorist, and an educator. Through his teachings he introduced a generation of American artists to the European modernist concepts of the Bauhaus.

His experimentation with color interaction and geometric shapes transformed the modern art scene,offering an alternative to Abstract Expressionist, and inspiring movements such as Geometric Abstraction, color field painting, and Op Art.
