Lecture Prof. Dr. Isabel Wünsche
2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus, one of the most influential art institutions shaping the emergence of modernist art, architecture, and design. As a design school, the Bauhaus revolutionized artistic thinking, architectural practice, and design production worldwide.
In her lecture with the title "The Bauhaus: New Approaches to Art and Design Education and Artistic Practice",
Prof. Dr. Isabel Wünsche discusses some of the fundamental principles the Bauhaus established in art and design education. Particular focus is on the role of the study of materials which Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack (1893-1965) saw as a fundamental basis of modern art and design education.
