Presentation paper
Georgia Wilcox
Herbert Bayer: The Bauhaus and the formation of the international style.
SYNOPSIS
This presentation focuses on the designer ‘Herbert Bayer’(1900-1985) who was the director of the printing and advertising workshop at the Bauhaus school as well as a student between 1921 and 1925. Bayer concentrated on architecture but much of his body of work is typography based and how that the Bauhaus’ new style of typography can apply to books, posters, and even money. This presentation and paper will discuss the postcard image “Bauhaus Ausstellung Weimar” and the “Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar 1919-1923” book cover as well. These works that Bayer created as a student show the importance of typography in his work as well as in the overall Bauhaus style. Bayer work also showcases the link that typography and strong imagery have in the schools style. The paper will also touch on how the modernist agenda can be seen in the way Bauhaus rejects the style of the previous movements in Germany and the rest of the western world. This modernist agenda can be seen in the bold geometric sans-serif style of the typography. The paper will briefly touch on how the financial environment affected the overall aim to create a better-designed world of industry and crafts.
BODY OF TEXT
The Bauhaus began as a school in 1919. It was started by Walter Gropius and realised a need for artist to design a way of life. Von Erffa writes in his essay on The Bauhaus before 1922 “Its most important aim was to introduce good design into the world of crafts and industry.” This paper and presentation will discuss how Bayer was influenced by the Bauhaus as a student there and how as a teacher there pushed towards an international style and there for creating a modernist agenda to challenge the conventions in the design of the time.
Image 1: "Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar 1919-1923”
This work entitled "Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar 1919-1923” was a book cover designed by bayer in 1923 for the Weimar Bauhaus exhibition of that year. It was printed in “Book-printed halftone” but the original was a lithograph.
At the time Bayer created this book cover, 1923, he was experimenting with both an empirical means of communication and an artistic expression, with visual clarity stressed above all. the work shows this in it inconsistencies. Each line has it own kerning creating a rectangular shape and making it feel more like an artwork than just an informative type.
Bayer has said “the typographical choices [of the Bauhaus] appear as unique and revolutionary in the history of typography. The new typography is anchored in a new conception of technology, in its functions as a medium for communication, in its social and humanistic role, and in its relations to the other arts of the period.” Here is related to the book cover as the typography used typically 'Bauhaus' with "breathing space" between the letters, and sans-serif font. The Bauhaus’ modernist agenda challenged and rejected the visual style of the time. The structure of the typeface with its characteristic geometric form that differed to what graphic artists outside of Germany and the Bauhaus were creating at the time.
Image 2: First exhibition postcard “Bauhaus-Ausstelling Weimar”
This postcard was made in1923 while Bayer was a student for the first exhibition for the Bauhaus, and is now housed at MOMA with about 150 other works created by bayer in his lifetime.
It shows how Bayer uses type and imagery together. Both the book cover and postcard display Bayer’s command over typography. Bayer uses the same technique with the kerning of the text with similar results. The typography is more than just informative; it's interesting. The imagery that Bayer uses is as equally bold as the text. He uses a similarly geometric style in both the text and type. Bayer uses the negative space to create dimension while also keeping the design simple. The image is made up of a black rectangle with a few white lines separating the person from the ground. It is simple but effective. Bayer’s work show cases the “singular richness inherent in the age.” With the bold font and imagery the viewer can see how bayer was influenced by the Bauhaus as well as how the rejection of the past. this postcard clearly details the way that bayer was modernist.
Herbert Bayer did quite a bit of commercial work outside the Bauhaus. This outside work shows how he choose to apply his teachings. This includes his work on the 100000 dollar bill. This bill gives some context to the world at the time. Germany was in hyperinflation and meant that there was a need to create more notes with high denominations. Bayer “Bauhaus” style and control of typography that can also be viewed in the works discussed in this paper. It also shows how the financial environment of the time many have influenced the artist to reject the past and push for a better-designed world of crafts and industry.

just essay: 1580The topic I choose to discuss was; The founders of Dada were anti-war, anti-aesthetic, and pretty much anti everything. In spite of that they have had a huge impact on the art and ideas of the twentieth century. How can this be explained? Discuss the work of at least two (but no more than three) people involved in the Dada movement to support your argument. This can be explained by the event that were happen in the world. the world war was making the world a very harsh place but also a much smaller world. the dadaist were a reaction to the harshness of the world that surrounded them. They created art that was anti-everything without a traditional aesthetic. Marcel Duchamp used everyday objects to challenge how we saw the world while May Ray embraced the new technology of the era and combined it with the new discoveries in a ever shrinking world on the 1920’s
Dadaism was a directed response to the overly controlled world due to the first world war and the urge to reject the standards of art and politics of the day. The overly controlled world of the war that consumed most the western world created a very harsh environment for creation and they reacted with offsetting the seriousness with a sense of humour and irony, and aimed to create work that was the exact opposite of serious. According to 30,000 Years Of Art; Dada was an anti-rational art movement form in response to the horrors of World War I Rejecting artistic conventions, the Dadaists used performance art, irony and humour to subvert societal norms and shock the establishment. This can be seen in the poems by Raoul Hausmann as well and in marcel duchumps ‘L.H.O.O.Q’. The sense of humour and enjoyment is more important in both of these pieces than any of intellectual meaning or technique and skill it took to create them. he used literal nonsense sounds and strung them together to create very dynamic poems. It was also a time where thinking was unlocked. A time when there were more questions than answers. When the world was on the brink of enormous change both industrially and socially. Where was it going? Who gives the direction? The Politicians … the writers... the philosophers.... or even the Artists.... And there benefits in the world becoming smaller with cars planes which were directly advanced because of the war. “Our provocations… were only a means of arousing the bourgeoisie to rage, and through rage to a shamefaced self-awareness… Dada was a storm that broke over the world of art as the war did over the nations.. it was an artistic revolt against art.” -Hans Richter. In this time of change the dadaist used this as a driving force to create. in this way the were in the most positive of ways anti-everything and this positive push for change created there own aesthetic or lack there of.
In both Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray the dada aesthetic or lack there of can be seen. In Marcel Duchamps the ‘Fountain’ ,1917 the importance of the message over the ascetic appeal of the work. This can also be seen in Man Ray’s work Le Cadeau (The Gift), 1921. the ‘Fountain’ is one of the icons of the dada so it is a great example of the push of the dadaist to challenge to rules and conventions of art and what is and it not consider fine art. His piece created the question if it is signed does that make it art or does there need to be more in the creative process? or does the declaration that the ‘fountain’ is a work art make it so? Duchamp used everyday objects to challenge how we saw the world. this was part of his ‘ready-mades’ according to the gardener’s art through the ages Duchamp's "ready-made'' sculptures were mass-produced common objects that the Dada artist selected and potentially modified. In Fountain, he conferred the status of art on a urinal and forced people to see the object in a new light. A ‘ready-made’ work according to duchump must not be considered artwork worthy; I had to be careful to avoid the 'look' [ of being art]. It is very difficult to choose an object, because after two weeks you either love it or hate it. You have to become so indifferent that you have no aesthetic feeling. The choice of Readymades is always founded on visual indifference and a total lack of good or bad taste. Man ray had his own take on ‘ready-mades’ with his work Le Cadeau (The Gift), 1921, he used the same principles to create Le Cadeau (The Gift). By means of his verbal and visual puns, Man Ray conflated two seemingly opposed phenomena: the primitive and the mechanical. In the work Le Cadeau (The Gift), 1921 this ‘visual pun’ of mix primal lines and styles with items highlighting the mechanical can be seen. the primitive use of spikes and the shape of the iron and the mechanical quality of the iron iron. so it could be said that the dadaist did have a style but as it challenge all the conventions of art of the time it does appear as though they were against any real aesthetic and this in turn made them revolutionary and became a huge impact on many more contempory art movements
Marcel duchump and Man Ray both created key examples that show what the influences were on the dada movement and how they were translated into pieces of art. once of these influences was the new technology of the time. Man Ray used these new materials and thought out side the box to create what he wanted to create. Man Ray’s photography is key area in which you can see his want to try new and interesting ways to explore it. in the work Le Violon d’Ingres (1925), the use of new techniques can be seen with the the overlaying of the the violin hole in the women’s back. In Duchamp’s work you can see the impact the current art establishment was having on his style especially in his ‘ready made’ series of works such as the ‘fountain’ and also in L.H.O.O.Q. were his attack on the pertinacious nature of critics. he as i have stated else where was questioning what is art and what is not. as well as starting the ball rolling towards art that was not made by the artist and if it the intellectual connection the make it his art even if he appropriated the image. the war was also a major influence on this movement. the seriousness of the politics of the time seamed to pushed the dadaist toward the ‘visual puns’ that were embodied with in there work. The almost silliness of the dadaist poetry where the poet would take a news paper and cut it up in to words or even section or single letters from the words and then reading them allowed using strangle iteration. So through these many influences the style of dada became a huge impact on the arts world.
The dada movement had a huge impact on the the art world and many more contempory movement owe a lot to the dadaist. This can be seen in andy warhol’s work and the pop art movement that embraced the same sense of fun and also use appropiation to send a critical message about the time. Duchamp’s L.H.O.O.Q is critising the overly serious nature over the war ravished world. In many Andy Warhols he comment on the consumerism that was ravishing his world. In the ‘brillo box’ that encapsulates this new found freedom in creation of art and the importance of the message over the creative process it took to get there. The conceptual art of the latter sixties and the early seventies was a rather diffuse movement about which it may be dangerous to generalize. It is regarded by many as the spiritual descendant of Marcel Duchamp and his readymades. One such artist was andy warhol. Who took this idea of the ‘ready-made object and then re-contextualised it to take on new meaning to was relevant in his era. Many art forms rose from the war. Many overlapping. Some artists can claim to have been a part of many different movements. Dadaism was one movement. It started a large ball rolling and seemingly it has never stopped. It gave opportunity for art to become more accessible and part of a society that embraced change in all sorts of fields.
In conclusion dadaism was so anti-everything that it became the art era to pave the way for many of the more contemporary art movement such as pop art as it allowed artist to create a new kind of art. They used a sense of humour to create the art that they wanted to create that wasn't limited or hindered by the art convention or social norms in place at the time. They may have been anti-everything but they were definitely for innovation and fun. References
