After dark with the National Trust
Bauhaus, one of the most influential architecture, art and design schools of the 20th century, began 100 years ago in Weimar, Germany. Despite the school’s resounding success the Nazis deemed their minimal aesthetic as “cosmopolitain rubbish” and forced closure of its founding school just 14 years after it had opened. Three of the Bauhaus professors, Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and Laszlo Maholy-Nagy, fled Nazi Germany and found refuge in Hampstead in the Lawn Road Flats, Britain’s first modernist apartment building. Here where they went on to play an instrumental role in the newly formed Isokon design company, a firm whose furniture, architecture and graphic art helped shape Modern Britain.
In this talk, we invite you into the living room of brutalist architect, Erno Goldfiner, to hear writers and modernist experts Leyla Daybelge and Magnus Englund reveal the story of the Isokon, from its beginnings to the present day. They will examine the work, artistic networks and legacy of the Bauhaus artists during their time in Britain. The tales are not just of design and architecture but war, sex, death, espionage and infamous dinner parties.
