Analyzing the Influence of Geometry and Minimalistic Style of Bauhaus on Pakistani Graphic Design

Abstract

 The Bauhaus was among the pioneer modern art movements to introduce minimalism with the use of geometric forms within the field of art, design, and architecture. It played a foundational role in emphasizing simplicity, rationality, and accurate geometry, imparting a lasting influence on the modern as well as contemporary design, along with other creative disciplines. The art and design of Bauhaus incorporate grids as crucial element. These grids provide structural framework for compositions, maintaining harmony and visual balance. Apart from graphic design, grids are also significant in typography and architectural design. This research article aims to analyze the minimalistic approach of Bauhaus in Germany. Furthermore, its influence on Pakistani graphic design is studied in the article. To study the emotional and spiritual impact achieved by the artists through minimalistic abstract paintings and designs, the research is based on qualitative analysis. The research analyzes that minimal designs are devoid of distractions and target toward a focused direction. The article contributes significantly in establishing the minimal and geometrical compositions as a means of efficient visual communication.
