Bauhaus Punk



Bauhaus is a German school that popularized the design approach of radically simplifying the form for a more rational and functional look.  The idea applied to architecture, sculpture, visual arts and other art forms.

Punk rock is a music genre that burst out in the mid 70's  to challenge the perceived excessiveness of mainstream music. Punk rock has a do-it-yourself approach, and in the words of The Ramones drummer Tony Ramone, is "pure, stripped down, no bullshit rock and roll."

Bauhaus Punk is an animation concept I'm working with that maintains the minimal, stripped down ideology of both Bauhaus and Punk rock. Wish me luck.
