Purist in color and shape
Clear, minimalist structures are typical of the Bauhaus style.
Symmetrical forms, the primary colors red, yellow and blue as well as black and white are combined with strong materials made of metal, concrete and glass.
The architect Walter Gropius laid the cornerstone of the Bauhaus in 1919 with the founding of the "State Bauhaus in Weimar".
For the first time, art and craft, design and function were combined - and further developed by artists such as Paul Klee and László Moholy-Nagy into their own avant-garde style.
