Evincing a desire to reunite artistic design and craft, and written in a tone that oscillates between the seeming objectivity of the diagram, the rhetoric of science and mathematics, and an abstract, quasi-mystical intuition, Klee’s text expresses key aspects of the Bauhaus’ pedagogy and guiding philosophies. And while Klee’s method is deeply personal, in the context of the fundamentally multivocal Bauhaus, his individual approach to abstract form is typical in its idiosyncrasy. In the \u003ci\u003ePedagogical Sketchbook\u003c\/i\u003e, Klee presents his own theories about the relationships between line, form, surface, color, space and time in art in the context of the Bauhaus. The book testifies to Klee’s intensive theoretical explorations of art and exemplifies how the Bauhaus masters interconnected the various realms of art and design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the present volume, the 1953 English translation of \u003ci\u003ePedagogical Sketchbook\u003c\/i\u003e by Sibyl Moholy-Nagy is combined with the design and physical qualities of the original German edition from 1925.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57316044341630,"sku":"NW9783037785850","price":21.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9783037785850.jpg?v=1778717336","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/pedagogical-sketchbook","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
