Manifesto Your textbook describes design in light
of the Bauhaus manifesto. According to the
Bauhaus Design History (http//designhistory.org/B
auhaus3.html), what was so new about the Bauhaus
modern art school was its attempt to integrate
the artist and the craftsman, to bridge the gap
between art and industry. It goes on to explain
that mass production was the god, and the
machine aesthetic demanded reduction to
essentials, an excision of the sentimental
choices and visual distractions that cluttered
human lives.
