Bauhaus (I)

I am a great admirer of the Bauhaus school (1919-1933), the bringers of true modernity -- Modernism -- into the realms of architecture, design and art in general.
Functionality, simplicity, sobriety and objectivity were key traits.
Names such as Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky stand out.
