Created in Germany in 1919, Bauhaus is the most influential modernist art and design school of the 20th century. His concept came directly from ideas initiated by the Arts & Crafts movement. In short, art had also to respond to the needs of society. The traditional distinction between the fine arts and craftsmanship was likewise obsolete. Bauhaus included artists Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, architects Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and designers Marcel Breuer, Koloman Moser and Josef Hoffmann. The nazis closed the school in 1932.
