Design and Visual Culture from the Bauhaus to Contemporary Art : Optical Deconstructions, Paperback / softback Book

Design and Visual Culture from the Bauhaus to Contemporary Art : Optical Deconstructions Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book complements the more textually-based Bauhaus scholarship with a practice-oriented and creative interpretive method, which makes it possible to consider Bauhaus-related works in an unconventional light.

Edit Toth argues that focusing on the functionalist approach of the Bauhaus has hindered scholars from properly understanding its design work.

With a global scope and under-studied topics, the book advances current scholarly discussions concerning the relationship between image technologies and the body by calling attention to the materiality of image production and strategies of re-channeling image culture into material processes and physical body space, the space of dimensionality and everyday activity.
