SUMMARY:Britain versus the Bauhaus: Modern Design in the 1930s
DESCRIPTION:Staatliches Bauhaus was an art school founded under Weimar Republic by the architect Walter Gropius. From 1919 to 1933 its tutors combined crafts and the fine arts in a radical new approach to design education.\nLess well known is the influence of the Bauhaus and other German design schools on design and art education in Britain in this period. As the impact of the economic ‘Slump’ of c.1929-34 hit British manufacturing sales\, many in local and national government took the view that Britain’s struggling industrial base could be improved if moves were made to provide for better design education. This lecture looks at some of the work of the key artists involved in improving British design in this period – including Paul Nash\, Eric Ravilious\, Vanessa Bell\, Duncan Grant and Roger Fry; and at Unit One – formed by Paul Nash in 1933 to promote modern art\, architecture and design. \nLecturer: Julia Musgrave \nJulian Musgrave\, theartssociety.org \nJulia Musgrave got her first degree in Chemical Engineering and went on to become a Chartered Information Systems Engineer and IT project manager. In 2008 she decided that life was too short for just one career and decided to become an art historian.\nShe now has a Graduate Diploma in the History of Art from the Courtauld Institute of Art and an MLitt in ‘Art\, Style and Design: Renaissance to Modernism\, c.1450 – c.1930’ from the University of Glasgow. She gained her PhD at the University of York for her research into the involvement of Roger Fry and the Bloomsbury Group and the social networks of the British art world in the development of the Contemporary Art Society from 1910 to 1939.\nShe teaches Art History at the City Literary Institute (City Lit) and is Co-Director of The London Art Salon.
