ULM School of Design
The exhibition at the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishat gave me an insight into the History of the Ulm School of design (1953-1968).It was indeed a great opportunity for me to read and visually go back in time, to get to know the history of this great institution.The Ulm School of Design is considered as one of the most influential and prestigious design schools after Bauhaus, even today. It was founded in 1953 by Inge Aicher Scholl, Otl Aicher and Max Bill.The main attributes of the Ulm model were new systematic design, inter-disciplinary co ordination and Team Work. It also encouraged creative research and training, combined with all practical work. Anti-fascism, Cultural responsibility, functionalism, rationality and practical design were few of the elementary aspects the school imparted to their students. The Ulm School will always have a special place etched in Art history, as one of the pioneers in taking art to its professional heights, both academically and by their standard of knowledge imparted. The art world still holds the three founders of the ULM SCHOOL OF DESIGN in high esteem and they are revered for their foresight and vision to date.
