Thesis Statements

1. Herbert Bayer displays aspects of modernism in his cover for Bauhaus magzine in 1928 by combining photography, typography, and simple geometric forms.

2. Joost Schmidt's Bauhaus exhibition poster enforces modernism with the self-reflexive use of lithography and simplification of forms.

3. Laszlo Moholy-Nagy used the combination of text, photography, and visual planes to create the poster for tires in 1923, which illustrated the combination of techniques to simplify design.

  1. Hi Morgan - three good thesis statements! Except I'm not sure how Schmidt's poster reflects lithography: Maybe you'll explain in your paper.
