Bauhaus

The Staatliches Bauhaus, commonly known as the Bauhaus, was a German art school operational from 1919 to 1933 that combined crafts and the fine arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it publicized and taught. It was headed by noted architect Walter Gropius. (Oxford Dictionary of Art and Artists [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 4th edn., 2009], ISBN 0-19-953294-X, pp. 64–66)
