Robert Wiesenberger of the Clark Art Institute will discuss the Bauhaus, the 20th century's most influential school of art and design, and its long afterlife in America. Specifically, he will focus on Bauhaus master Herbert Bayer's 1950 mural commissions for Harvard University, and how they reflect on midcentury American conversations about visual literacy, democracy, and a growing environmental consciousness.
