This world of mere drawing and painting of draughtsmen and applied artists must at long last become a world that builds.
Walter Gropius
Manifesto and Programme of the Weimar State Bauhaus, 1919
Artist Statement
This poster is a graphic tribute to the Bauhaus movement to honor its founder Walter Gropius and his influential vision of a more unified world as a building where architecture, sculpture and painting could be one, clear symbol of a new belief to come.
Based on the quote by Gropius, the graphic composition depicts the human being as the building, system and creator at the same time with an objective: pursuing this quest of unifying and creating connections between geometrical shapes around the piece in a dynamic way as a representation of a functional approach to aesthetics and its sorroundings.
Most of the graphic inspiration and color palette comes from the work of several famous Bauhaus figures such as Kandinsky, Moholy-Nagy and Schlemmer.
