Toulouse-Lautrec – born in 1864, he was a French painter and printmaker in the Post-Impressionist style. He is best known for his depictions of Parisian nightlife, which he saw in the company of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec lived from 1864 to 1901 and died at age 36.
Toulouse-Lautrec’s paintings are colorful, bold and very modern. His pictures are filled with movement and energy; they’re very different from Monet’s. He painted mostly scenes from Parisian night life: cabaret dancers and performers, singers, and prostitutes. He used bright colors, thick lines, and exaggerated shapes to express emotion.
His art is connected to Impressionism because it emphasizes color and movement rather than precise details. It’s also unique from other styles because it captures a sense of time and place that other styles didn’t do as well.*

The Bauhaus was a German design school operating from 1919 to 1933, with a philosophy of “art and technology—a new unity.” Many of the artists who passed through its doors included Lyonel Feininger, Wassily Kandinsky (whose abstract paintings are in the collection of New York’s Museum of Modern Art), Paul Klee, László Moholy-Nagy, and Josef Albers (who devised the famous “studies in color” course).
“The Bauhaus artists were always referred to as the masters. They were never called the students. Every one of them was a master.”
Oskar Schlemmer, painter and stage designer
The Bauhaus was a German art school that was founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius, an architect. The school had a powerful influence on architecture, sculpture, painting and graphic design in Germany and beyond. Its fundamental objective was to merge craft and fine arts with technology, in order to create objects for everyday use, rather than the traditional craft of decorative items for the home. It is considered to have been one of the most influential schools of modern design. The Bauhaus used clean lines and bold coloration in both architecture and interior design; its aim was functionalism: to create a functional building that would be as beautiful as it was useful.
The name means “house of construction” (from bauen meaning “to build” and haus meaning “house”). The Bauhaus school encompassed fine art as well as crafts such as furniture design and typography, with an emphasis on functionality, simplicity and the ability of an object to communicate its purpose with its form. It aimed to achieve this by encouraging students to think in terms of basic
Bauhaus art can be defined as the modern style that was popular in Germany between 1919 and 1933. The Bauhaus school combined crafts and fine arts and was considered as the most influential art movement of the 20th century. Bauhaus artists mainly focused on functionalism and simple geometric shapes. Most of the artists were forced to leave Germany by the Nazis in 1933, but their revolutionary designs have survived and are now considered as some of the most important works of art in history.
The Bauhaus movement occurred at a time when Germany’s economy was rapidly recovering from World War I. As a result, many German firms wanted to redesign their products to reflect a more modern appearance. Some of the artists from the Bauhaus movement created designs for household goods, furniture, posters and book covers. The abstract patterns used in these designs are still popular today.
