17 Walter Gropius influenced by the ideas of William Morris, he established the Arts and Crafts School in Weimar, which became the worldfamous Bauhaus. He became the director and had a genius to picking staff of leading and individualistic Modernists. He intented to bring a unity to all the arts and sought to solve problems of visual design created by industrialism. Wassily Kandinsky beleived in the autonomy and spiritual values of color and form led to the courageous emancipation of his painting from the motif and from representational elements. Kandinsky taught the basic design class for beginners, the course on advanced theory as well as conducting painting classes and a workshop where he completed his color theory with new elements of form psychology.

Characterized by the utopian desire to create a new spiritual society, the early Bauhaus sought a new unity of artists and craftsmen to build for the future. The main objectives of the Bauhaus was to unify art, craft, and technology. Ideas from all the advanced art and design movements were explored, combined, and applied to problems of functional design and machine production at the German design school. Twentiethcentury furniture, architecture, product design, and graphics were shaped by the work of its faculty and students, and a modern design aesthetic emerged. László MoholyNagy was central to the school s shift to a functionalist materialbased approach to design. He proved himself to be an impressive graphic designer, exploiting his facility with photographic processes to stunning effect. He also designed most of the Bauhaus books which helped spread the school s ideas. His passion for typography and photography inspired a Bauhuas interest in visual communications and led to important experiments in the unification of these two arts. He saw graphic design, particularly the poster, as evolving toward typophoto.

Several former members of the Bauhaus emigrated to the United States where they were able to give full scope to their artistic ideas.
