Exile, Bauhaus, architectureAbstract
The Bauhaus movement during the Weimar Republic is one of the most relevant events in 20th century art. Its importance is based on the absolute transformation of the aesthetic values. The human aspect of the Bauhaus brought together the paths of the artists’ lives. Walter Gropius was the undisputed soul of the School. While the socialist ideology of its members as well as its avantgarde artistic scheme furthered its success, they also caused its downfall and its persecution by the Nazis. The majority of the members of the Bauhaus had no choice but to go into exile.
