The main character of this extraordinary graphic novel is not a person but an idea\u2015the school of Bauhaus, which arose in the wake of World War I, and emerged as the fundamental reference point for virtually every avant-garde artistic movement that followed. Visually arresting illustrations and engaging texts place the novel\u2019s protagonist squarely in the middle of the twentieth-century debate on the relationship between technology and culture.
\nThe novel is divided into three chapters that trace the evolution of the Bauhaus, as its center moved across Germany\u2015from Weimar to Dessau to Berlin\u2015and as its philosophy responded to this economically, politically and intellectually highly charged era in Europe.
\nSergio Varbella\u2019s inventive drawings bring to life the theories of founder Walter Gropius, as well as the basic design ideals of unity and equity. Valentina Grande\u2019s thoughtful texts highlight crucial moments within the movement\u2019s history and in the lives of principal figures such as Klee, Kandinsky, Josef and Anni Albers, L\u00e1szl\u00f3 and Lucia Moholy-Nagy, Gunta St\u00f6zl, and Mies van der Rohe.
\nThe perfect introduction to a radical but highly influential chapter in the history of design, this novel shows how the Bauhaus school broke down barriers and built up ideals that are still applied today.<\/p>\n
