Artist Name: Herbert Bayer
Title: Herbert Bayer is renowned for his significant contributions to the fields of design, typography, photography, and sculpture. Born on April 5, 1900, in Haag, Austria, Bayer began his artistic journey by studying at the renowned Bauhaus school in Weimar from 1921 to 1923, and later in Dessau from 1925 to 1928.
During his time at the Bauhaus, Bayer explored various art forms and mediums, including typography, photography, painting, and construction. His innovative approach to graphic design and typography revolutionized the field, and his avant-garde and surreal photographs showcased his artistic vision.
In 1938, due to the political climate in Europe, Bayer, along with influential artists such as Kandinsky, Moholy-Nagy, Mondrian, and Klee, emigrated to the United States. Settling in New York City, he established a groundbreaking graphic design studio, where he continued to shape the field with his pioneering work.

Herbert Bayer studied at the Bauhaus, Weimar 1921-1923 and Bauhaus, Dessau 1925-1928. Maintaining a studio as a designer and artist in Berlin, he created typography, a series of avant-garde and surreal photographs, followed by constructions and paintings in the same genre. However, in 1938, when the political climate dictated changes, he joined fellow artists Kandinsky, Moholy-Nagy, Mondrian and Klee in moving to the United States. Bayer developed a trend-setting graphic design studio in New York until, in 1946, at the direction of an important collector, he moved to Aspen, Colorado. His reputation preceded him and his graphic design business broadened to include paintings, lithographs, architecture, tapestry design and earthworks. In 1974, Bayer and his wife moved to Montecito, California. Bayer died in 1985.
