- W831065804 abstract "By now it is hardly any secret that Bauhaus Modernism, once a highly charismatic teaching philosophy and visual vocabulary, has fallen into serious disfavor over the years. Ever since the late 1960s, denouncing the bad faith informing the Bauhaus program and the apparent hubris of its leading figures has developed into a favorite transatlantic parlor game. For many observers, Tom Wolfe's widely read 1981 satire, From Bauhaus to Our House, marked the Bauhaus' final passage from tragedy to farce, as its once noble dreams were mocked in a dark round of laughter and forgetting. Surprisingly little scholarly attention, however, has been devoted to the reasons behind the Bauhaus' remarkable success and especially its canoni zation in both West Germany and the United States after 1945. Given that it experienced great difficulty throughout the Weimar Republic, was closed down by the Nazis, and forced into a difficult exile in the United States, where its partial reincarnation in Chicago fizzled out after only a few years, this cliched Bauhaus success story is by no means self-evident. What then accounted for its unrivaled cultural authority after 1945? In this article, I argue that the postwar popularization of the Bauhaus in West Germany and the United States, less a simple function of its own momen tum from the 1920s, was shaped to a large extent by the cultural impera tives of the Cold War." @default.
