The Bauhaus was a German art school operational from 1919 to 1933 that was famous for its approach to design, which attempted to unify the principles of mass production with individual artistic vision and strove to combine aesthetics with everyday function. The style later became one of the most influential currents in modern design, architecture, art, and education. Its emblem was created by Oskar Schlemmer in 1921, who was a German painter, sculptor, designer, and choreographer associated with the Bauhaus school. His work was a rejection of pure abstraction, instead, retaining a sense of the human. He represented bodies as architectural forms, reducing the figure to a rhythmic play between convex, concave, and flat surfaces.
