Bauhaus was a German Art movement that existed from 1919-1933. It was founded in Weimar by German architect Walter Gropius.
The Bauhaus was a school of not only design, but architecture and engineering. They taught designers, artists, and engineers to think like each other. The curriculum involved the students to do a 'first year' in all of the above subjects so they weren't narrowed into any one area.
Bauhaus designers were fed up with the flowing and detailed Art Nouveau style of the years before. Their idea was to break away from this in their design by designing with strong geometric shapes, lines and bold colour. It was simplistic.

Kandinsky, Schmidt, Van Der Rohe, Gropius, Meyer.
