Bauhaus: Art as Life

Emma Thomas

Held at the Barbican Art Gallery in May 2012, Bauhaus: Art as Life was the largest UK-based exhibition of works from the iconic art school to be held in almost 40 years. Graphically, the design was informed by an awareness of the Bauhaus’ own principles of colour, structure and typography – painted walls, bold panels and supergraphics drew together objects, themes and ideas. The images that were reproduced at a large scale throughout focus on life at the school, rather than just its output.
