Bauhaus combined a number of influences (punk music, glam rock, even funk and dub) to create a gloomy, but very passionate sound which appealed to many left looking for something new in the wake of punk's collapse. In 1998, Bauhaus reunited for the "Resurrection Tour", which featured two new songs ("Severance", originally written by Dead Can Dance, and "The Dog's a Vapour", which was also featured on the soundtrack for the film, "Heavy Metal 2"). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bauhaus_(band)   (924 words)

House style | Art & Architecture | guardian.co.uk Arts Students at the Bauhaus took a six-month preliminary course that involved painting and elementary experiments with form, before graduating to three years of workshop training by two masters: one artist, one craftsman. Bauhaus students were in day-to-day contact with some of the most important practising artists and designers of the time. Many Bauhaus staff and students were Jewish; besides, the experimental, abstract direction of the teaching was anathema to the Nazis, who, by 1931, had taken control of the Dessau municipal council. arts.guardian.co.uk /art/architecture/story/0,,2212350,00.html   (2045 words)

Bauhaus: album reviews and ratings Well, the big deal is this: Bauhaus albums are angry and dark and thoroughly musical; the songs are meticulously crafted and the lyrics are lovely explorations of decay, emptiness, and fear. The laugh was bitter, but it gave Bauhaus a sense of perspective that is missing in many of the imitations that they spawned. The music itself is hard to describe -- it's guitar-driven with liberal doses of feedback and random changes in direction; Peter Murphy's vocals swing from tortured howls to deep and resonant chants (of course, Daniel Ash and David J. supplied vocals for many of the songs too, particularly on Burning From The Inside). www.musicfolio.com /modernrock/bauhaus.html   (906 words)

bauhaus Mp3 Albums Review   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Bauhaus (and their lack of mainstream acceptance) is proof perfect that people prefer their music bland, mindless, and about ten years behind the times. Basically, this album shows that Bauhaus was a group of talented, creative guys that all shared a morbid sense of humor, a passion for the bizarre, but were in no way a contrived bunch of goth types. Before this album Bauhaus basically set the tone for what Gothic music was supposed to look and sound like with their first album "In the Flat Field", and then changed up styles with the spooky dance album "Mask". www.full-albums.net /albums_review-bauhaus.asp   (3758 words)

Bauhaus: Go Away White (2008): Reviews Go Away White sounds like the four were trying one last time to reclaim the idea of Bauhaus as band and ethos from all the many limiting clichés heaped on it, something which the album title, taken from the song "Black Stone Heart," slyly hints at. Bauhaus can hold their head high, mission accomplished; but with no victory-lap tour, no more studio albums, and several awesome new tunes pointing at an un-actualized future, it all feels rather anti-climatic and lacking closure. A tastefully matured Bauhaus produce enough fractured guitar and howling melodrama to wake the undead. www.metacritic.com /music/artists/bauhaus/goawaywhite   (674 words)

Bauhaus - Archiplanet Thus the Bauhaus style, also known as the International Style, was marked by the absence of ornamentation and by harmony between the function of an object or a building and its design. The most important influence on Bauhaus was however modernism, a cultural movement whose origins lay as far back as the 1880s, and which had already made its presence felt in Germany before the World War, despite the prevailing conservatism. So the built output of Bauhaus architecture in these years is the output of Gropius: the Sommerfeld house in Berlin, the Otte house in Berlin, the Auerbach house in Jena, and the competition design for the Chicago Tribune Tower, which brought the school much attention. www.archiplanet.org /wiki/Bauhaus   (3545 words)

Bauhaus, artists and art...the-artists.org Bauhaus (bou'hous'), school founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius at Weimar, Germany, and later located successively at Dessau, Berlin, and Chicago, to develop a functional architecture based on a correlation between creative design and modern industry and science. The Bauhaus began with an utopian definition: "The building of the future" was to combine all the arts in ideal unity. It was this building's architecture as well as the Bauhaus' significance for architecture and design in the 20th century that motivated the UNESCO to add the Bauhaus Building and the Master Houses close by to their World Heritage List in December 1996. www.the-artists.org /MovementView.cfm?id=8A01EF20-BBCF-11D4-A93500D0B7069B40   (558 words)

BAUHAUS DESSAU, WALTER GROPIUS   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The construction of this model of the Bauhaus, originally constructed in 1926 in Dessau Germany, has involved pulling together photographs and drawings from several different periods of time. This topic is of particular interest since the early 1990's, when the Bauhaus was declared a UN World Heritage site, and an extensive reconstruction project began.

Metropolis Records: Bauhaus With their own particular mystique and stark brooding music, it was inevitable that BAUHAUS would be classified with the vanguard of the "Goth" fashion, a totally misleading confinement which ignored their humor, experimentation and uniqueness. In 1980, BAUHAUS was signed to the fledgling 4.A.D. label, releasing three singles and their first album, In The Flat Field, widely aknowledged as one of the finest debut albums of the early 1980's and the first of many of their releases to appear on the UK charts.
