Art Print Paul Klee - The Goldfish (1925)

The Bauhaus art movement (which means 'the house of construction'), created in 1919 in Weimar, Germany, is an art and design school founded by a group of visionary artists, including Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The Bauhaus sought to unify applied arts and fine arts, promoting a holistic approach to artistic creation. The Bauhaus moved successively to Dessau and Berlin during its 14 years of existence. Its goal was to bring together traditional craftsmanship and industrial techniques to create functional, aesthetic, and innovative artworks. The artists of Bauhaus explored new forms, clean lines, vibrant colors, and geometric aesthetics, influencing architecture, design, painting, and sculpture. The Bauhaus also placed great importance on education, encouraging an experimental and collaborative approach. Students benefited from a comprehensive curriculum, allowing them to explore various artistic disciplines, including woodworking, ceramics, photography, weaving, and typography. This interdisciplinary approach gave rise to a new generation of innovative artists and designers who helped shape the artistic and cultural landscape of the 20th century.
