The Bauhaus Movement - collated research

I'm currently writing an essay for my course on the Bauhaus movement.  I did a ton of research and thought I'd share my collection of links:


Background information

Wikipedia’s article on Bauhaus was a great starting point:

The Art Story was a great source of background information, plus links to other articles:

The Bauhaus Museum website provided information about what was taught at the Bauhaus school:

The Tate has some general information about Bauhaus:


Videos

Zillion Designs produced a great video on the essentials of Bauhaus:

The ABCs of the Bauhaus was a good introduction using the shapes and images of the movement:

Bauhaus: the Face of the 20th Century is a longer video about Bauhaus:


Graphic Design

The GreenGinger article ‘Why is Bauhaus still so influential today’ provided background information on the movement and how it influenced Graphic Design today:


DesignLab outlined lessons for today’s designers about Bauhaus and why the web is still Bauhaus:


Fonts

Digital Arts was an introduction to Adobe’s free Bauhaus fonts:

Looking further into Bayer and his fonts led me to the New York Times article:


Influential artists

99Designs was good for information about the influential artists in the Bauhaus movement:

AIGA was good for examples of Bauhaus design:

Art work

My Modern Met showed how the avant-garde movement transformed modern art along with the history of the Bauhaus movement:

Smashing Magazine is a great collection of Bauhaus artwork:

I really like Piet Mondrian’s work, and looked into his influence on the Bauhaus movement.  The Art Story was a good resource for information that ultimately led me to conclude he wasn’t a key figure in the Bauhaus:
