Description

Utopia Matters: From Brotherhoods to Bauhaus examines a sequence of international case studies from the early nineteenth century through 1933, when the Bauhaus closed in Berlin and the ascendancy of Fascism and Stalinism curbed or negatively reframed artistic endeavors, and investigates the evolution of utopian ideas in modern Western artistic thought and practice.
