WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Written by Guest Blogger Margherita Visentini
Andreas Xenoulis has designed wonderful posters as a peculiar tribute to the Bauhaus: he’s created this work inspired by the typical principles of the “New Typography,” realized in geometric structure, simplicity of the forms and the original Bauhaus colors.
Bauhaus is the German artistic movement born in 1919 under the leadership of Walter Gropius, architect and intellectual.
Gropius tried to take measure and order in the chaos after-war, he thought Germany and above all artistic scene needed a leader, to guide everything to unity, of form and color. He tried to regenerate the German visual culture through the fusion of art and craft.
The influence of this artistic movement and all its mentors, like Moholy-Nagy, Albers, Klee and Kandinsky, was huge, till nowadays, where the Bauhaus style and the Bauhaus typography are still used for books, movie and event posters and album covers.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
