Reference Statement and Annotated Bibliography- Bauhaus


Bauhaus.
The design field I researched was Bauhaus, as it was highly influential throughout its design era.  

Book-Bauhaus
Author- Kennedy, Andrew John
Bauhaus is organised into 5 sections, these being Movement Overview, Society, Places, Influences and Styles & Techniques, so it covers all areas of the Bauhaus design movement making it helpful for overall information on Bauhaus. It also contains full page examples of work with the opposite page stating the key facts and other additional information on the piece/s, helpful information for specific pieces.

Scholarly Journal article- Bauhaus Modern and Bauhaus Culture: From Weimar to the Cold War
Author- Lucy M. Maulsby
This journal article condenses the information available in many books, the main one being Bauhaus culture this is helpful as it provides many of the basic ideas and information needed to get a grasp on the general idea and design movement. It also provides information on Bauhaus modern, two papers that also would be helpful in providing another opinion on the design movement.

Edited book- Bauhaus twenty-21
Author- Watkinson, Gordon. Jaeger, Falk. Cachola Schmal, Peter, 1964-  Siebenbrodt, Michael.
Bauhaus twenty-21 it’s a compilation of many different authors. This is helpful as it offers many opinions and points of view on the style. It focusses mainly on the modern features that are being used currently in design, and provides examples of what “future Bauhaus” designed houses will look like. This book would be helpful for anyone focusing on the modern reflections in current designs.

This website gives a good insight into the history of Bauhaus design covering the Bauhaus design school (1919) in Germanys curriculum/history, and providing many examples of sample work and artists. It covers graphic designs and typography giving a wide range of styles to choose from.

Image- 
I choose the image of the first Bauhaus poster, as it has a lot of history and was the starting point of this design movement, this image is helpful in researching Bauhaus history as it contains all of the main aspects of Bauhaus design e.g graphic, rounded and geometric shapes. Because this was the first Bauhaus poster, it is also probably the most famous image related to Bauhaus design.
