The Bauhaus school of design was open from1919 to 1933. The concepts taught were greatly influenced by the machine age. The school advised its 700 students to forget everything they knew about design and targeted to merge all the arts under the concept of design.  With students such as Vassily Kandinsky, Lyonel Feininger, and Paul Klee one can see that The Bauhaus school of design was prominent.
