Design and Visual Culture From the Bauhaus to Contemporary Art - Optical Deconstructions

Informationen zum Autor Edit Toth is Lecturer at Pennsylvania State University! Altoona. Zusammenfassung This book complements the more textually-based Bauhaus scholarship with a practice-oriented and creative interpretive method, which makes it possible to consider Bauhaus-related works in an unconventional light. Edit Toth argues that focusing on the functionalist approach of the Bauhaus has hindered scholars from properly understanding its design work. Inhaltsverzeichnis Acknowledgements; 1.Introduction; 2.
