Three-quarters of a century later, the \"look\" of the new remains indebted to the Bauhaus and its equation of technology with modernism. Central to discussions of the relationships between art, industrialization, and politics in the twentieth century, much of the school's later impact was derived in part from its status as one of the foremost cultural symbols of Germany's first democracy and its public reputation as a \"cathedral of socialism.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this book, editor Kathleen James-Chakraborty and seven other scholars analyze the accomplishments and dispel the myths of the Bauhaus, placing it firmly in a historical context from before the formation of the Weimar Republic through Nazi ascendancy and World War II into the cold war. Together, they investigate its professors' and students' interactions with mass culture; establish the complexity of its relationship with Wilhelmine, Nazi, and postwar German politics; and challenge the claim that its architects greatly influenced American architecture in the 1930s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Their most explosive conclusions address the degree to which some aspects of Bauhaus design continued to flourish during the Third Reich before becoming one of the cold war's most enduring emblems of artistic freedom. In doing so, \u003ci\u003eBauhaus Culture\u003c\/i\u003e calls into question the degree to which this influential school should continue to symbolize an uncomplicated relationship between art, modern technology, and progressive politics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors: Greg Castillo, Juliet Koss, Rose-Carol Washton Long, John V.
