Bauhaus Women

Original title: Bauhausfrauen

  • Genre: Documentary
  • Country: Germany
  • Runtime: 43 min

The names Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer are known to everyone, but what about artist Friedl Dicker-Brandeis or textile artist Gunta Stölzl? Bauhaus was the home of the avant-garde and the cradle of modern architecture, yet it is primarily associated with male figures, and women are often overlooked, despite their undeniable influence. Director Susanne Radelhof tells the story of the famous art school with a turbulent fate from the perspective of personalities for whom the situation was even more complicated. The documentary is a tribute to the forgotten women of Bauhaus and shows their effort to assert themselves in fields dominated by men.
