The novel is divided into three chapters that trace the evolution of the Bauhaus, as its center moved across Germany—from Weimar to Dessau to Berlin—and as its philosophy responded to this economically, politically and intellectually highly charged era in Europe. Sergio Varbella’s inventive drawings bring to life the theories of founder Walter Gropius, as well as the basic design ideals of unity and equity. Valentina Grande’s thoughtful texts highlight crucial moments within the movement’s history and in the lives of principal figures such as Klee, Kandinsky, Josef and Anni Albers, László and Lucia Moholy-Nagy, Gunta Stözl, and Mies van der Rohe. The perfect introduction to a radical but highly influential chapter in the history of design, this novel shows how the Bauhaus school broke down barriers and built up ideals that are still applied today.
Valentina Grande has written the texts of graphic novels about the lives of J. D. Salinger and Raymond Carver.
Sergio Varbella is a graphic designer and illustrator. He contributed the illustrations to the graphic novel Little Women, a reimagining of Alcott’s novel.
