About the Artist
Created by MORYARTY, Bauhaus Poster 18 is an original design inspired by the Bauhaus movement’s commitment to clarity, function, and bold visual experimentation. Rather than replicating a specific historical work, MORYARTY channels the spirit of early 20th-century modernism, using the visual vocabulary of geometry and color to evoke the optimism of the era.
This piece is part of a series that pays tribute to the Bauhaus legacy, making design history accessible for contemporary interiors and bridging the gap between fine art and everyday life.
The Artwork
Set in the context of 1926, this artwork reflects the Bauhaus philosophy of using posters as tools for public education and visual communication. The composition serves as a visual manifesto, demonstrating how simple shapes and primary colors can convey ideas of energy, harmony, and progress—core values of the modernist movement.
By focusing on abstraction rather than narrative or figuration, the piece aligns with the Bauhaus belief that design should be both functional and aesthetically engaging. It stands out in our Bauhaus posters collection and appeals to those interested in the evolution of modern graphic design.
Style & Characteristics
The poster features a dynamic arrangement of geometric circles and rectangular bars, balanced with precision and clarity. The use of flat, unmodulated areas of red, blue, yellow, orange, black, and white creates a rhythmic interplay that is visually striking yet orderly.
The composition’s open negative space and crisp edges reflect the influence of early workshop graphics, while the restrained palette maintains a sense of cohesion. Fans of abstract art will appreciate its structured yet approachable mood, and its modernist aesthetic is well-suited to contemporary spaces.
In Interior Design
This Bauhaus-inspired wall art is ideal for living rooms, offices, or hallways where a touch of intelligent design is desired. Its clean geometry and bold colors pair well with minimalist, Scandinavian, or mid-century modern interiors, complementing light woods, metal accents, and neutral fabrics.
It can serve as a striking standalone piece or anchor a gallery wall of minimalist posters. Framing it in black or white from our frames collection will enhance its architectural qualities and keep the look refined.
