Bauhaus was a quarterly avant-garde art and design magazine which existed in the period between 1926 and 1931 with some interruptions. It was launched by a German art movement with the same name and financed by an art group called Kreis der Freunde des Bauhauses (German: Circle of Friends of the Bauhaus).[1] It had significant effects on the Danish art magazines such as Kritisk Revy and Linien.[2]

History
Bauhaus was started on 24 December 1926 when a new Bauhaus building in Dessau was opened.[1] It targeted professional designers and those who were interested in design and contained articles supplemented with photographic prints and layouts.[3] The magazine emphasized the democratic elements in art and design.[1] In 1926 it featured Marcel Breuer’s filmstrip which indicated a change in the tendency of the Bauhaus group towards the functionalism.[4]
In 1928 five issues of the magazine were edited by Martin Gropius and László Moholy-Nagy.[1] Then the Swiss architect Hannes Meyer and Ernő Kállai became its editors.[1][3] Joost Schmidt modified the original logo of the magazine designed by Herbert Bayer.[1] Main contributors of the magazine included Hans Hildenbrand who published articles on wall painting and relief, and architect Ludwig Hilberseimer.[3] Bauhaus folded in late 1931.[2]
