The first exhibition on the subject of “Bauhaus and National Socialism” illustrates the diverse ways in which artists dealt with a totalitarian system of rule.
The Klassik Stiftung Weimar’s annual exhibition is the first to publicly address the topic of “Bauhaus and National Socialism”. The show presents around 450 art and design objects from private collections and renowned museums in Europe and the USA at three locations in Weimar. The works illustrate the complex political history of the Bauhaus up to its closure in 1933 and show the extremely varied lives of Bauhaus members under National Socialism.
