Description: | "} Gropius / Ans'd 27/4/46"
s.d.
CRE GROPIUS, Walter Walter Gropius was one of the founding fathers of the Modernist movement that swept through Europe from Germany during the 1930s onwards. They favoured economical, utilitarian designs using industrail materials such as aluminium. Their preference for such simple designs was influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, thus the Modernists and Mackintosh shared something of a common heritage.
The Jurgendstil was a German school of design contemporary with Mackintosh. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | ARCHIVE : LETTER : TESTIMONIAL : GROPIUS, WALTER : HOWARTH : MODERNISM : JURGENDSTIL : GERMANY : CRM ONLINE : : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
