Harvard Museums Releases Online Catalogue of 32,000 Bauhaus Works
- zorpner 10y agoThe collection features work from the likes of Mies van der Rohe, Bertrand Goldberg, Marcel Breuer, and Bauhaus-founder Walter Gropius himself... It's unfortunate that this article doesn't take a moment to call out that Gropius stole a huge number of those photographs from Lucia Moholy: http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/photo-credit-negatives-bauhaus/ http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/photo-credit-negatives...
- Finnucane 10y agoThe site lists 53 items by Lucia Moholy, so not really a huge part of the collection.
- SteveLAnderson 10y agoJust go straight to the Harvard Museums site - http://www.harvardartmuseums.org/tour/the-bauhaus http://www.harvardartmuseums.org/tour/the-bauhaus
- thowfaraway 10y agoClassic example of what's bad about modern web site design. 1.5MB of javascript and misc overhead with a spinner over a blank page to load < 1KB of text and 5 small thumbnails.
- platz 10y agoI'm sure it looks great on an iMac (that's all artists and designers use, right?)
- TheOtherHobbes 10y agoLooks okay on an iMac. Loads very slowly. Has poor navigation - doesn't keep your place if you click on an item and then click Back. The content is absolutely fascinating, but I wish the images weren't just thumbnails.
- platz 10y agoclick to view the image url and you'll find you can strip off the parameters to get a bigger image
- rch 10y agoThis site is worth a look. It's as beautiful as it has been for over a decade (through a couple of designs at least). Still JS heavy, but loads in less than a second for me. http://www.bauhaus.de/en/ http://www.bauhaus.de/en/
- furytrader 10y agoI don't see "Bela Lugosi's Dead" anywhere ...
- at-fates-hands 10y agoHave an upvote for an obscure Music reference.
- mms1973 10y agoWhen I lived in East Germany in 1998/99, I mentioned the Bauhaus in Dassau to my Germans friends (university professors) and they would not have a clue about it.
