Design And Visual Culture From The Bauhaus To Contemporary Art Optical Deconstructions | Visual Studies

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. |Design and Visual Culture from the Bauhaus to Contemporary Art Optical Deconstructions | Visual Studies
