Bauhaus was a quarterly avant-garde art and design magazine which existed in the period between 1926 and 1931 with some interruptions. It was launched by a German art movement with the same name and financed by an art group called Kreis der Freunde des Bauhauses (German: Circle of Friends of the Bauhaus). [1] It had significant effects on the Danish art magazines such as Kritisk Revy and Linien. [2]
Bauhaus was started on 24 December 1926 when a new Bauhaus building in Dessau was opened. [1] It targeted professional designers and those who were interested in design and contained articles supplemented with photographic prints and layouts. [3] The magazine emphasized the democratic elements in art and design. [1] In 1926 it featured Marcel Breuer’s filmstrip which indicated a change in the tendency of the Bauhaus group towards the functionalism. [4]
In 1928 five issues of the magazine were edited by Martin Gropius and László Moholy-Nagy. [1] Then the Swiss architect Hannes Meyer and Ernő Kállai became its editors. [1] [3] Joost Schmidt modified the original logo of the magazine designed by Herbert Bayer. [1] Main contributors of the magazine included Hans Hildenbrand who published articles on wall painting and relief, and architect Ludwig Hilberseimer. [3] Bauhaus folded in late 1931. [2]
