Title: Bauhaus, Yet Another History Text
Review: Somewhat dry reading, but quite detailed and informative.This book doesn't touch much upon the actual art/design that came out of the Bauhaus, but rather is concentrated on the social-political-historical context of the environment that existed at the time.From previous books on the subject I have read, I knew that things weren't easy for Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus.This book clearly brings things into a sharper focus.This book was not exactly what I was expecting, but nevertheless I still found it informative and interesting.The *extensive* notes cited in the back of the book, belies the fact that some serious homework was done and it shows.
Is the review positive or negative?
