The Bauhaus. It existed for only 14 years, from 1919 to 1933, but what a host of visionaries it unleashed. The school opened in Weimar and in 1925 moved to Dessau. It was founded on a belief in the unity of the arts and the importance of good design in mass production (hence its slogan “Art into Industry”). For a view straight into the heart of the Bauhaus, head to the exhibition “Affinities: Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Paul Klee” at David Zwirner’s gallery in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. The show is curated by Nicholas Fox Weber, director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. Weber is also a distinguished writer and a regular contributor to AIR MAIL. His most recent book, Mondrian: His Life, His Art, His Quest for the Absolute, was published last fall. —Carolina de Armas
