Founded by architect Walter Gropius (1883–1969) in 1919, the Bauhaus was the 20th century’s most influential school of art, architecture, and design. After the school was shuttered under pressure from the Nazis in 1933, many Bauhaus artists brought their innovative practices and teaching methods to the United States. Gropius himself accepted a position at Harvard, where he would help establish a collection of Bauhaus material that has since grown to more than 32,000 objects—the largest such collection outside Germany. Harvard in turn became an unofficial center for the Bauhaus in America.
Edited by curator Laura Muir, "Object Lessons: The Bauhaus and Harvard" expands on the special link between the two institutions while highlighting understudied aspects of the Bauhaus, including art made by women. The newly released book contains essays written by established and emerging voices in the field and took shape during the run of "The Bauhaus and Harvard," a major exhibition and programming initiative presented by the Harvard Art Museums on the Bauhaus centennial in 2019.
A plate section presents a diverse selection of objects in a range of media. Inserted into the back cover of this beautifully designed volume is a full reproduction of the catalogue produced for the Harvard Society for Contemporary Art exhibition in 1930—the first Bauhaus exhibition in the United States!
