Visit to Chitrakala Parishat

The exhibition at the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishat gave me an insight into the History of the Ulm School of design (1953-1968).The Ulm School of Design is considered as one of the most influential and prestigious design schools of today.It was founded in 1953 by Inge Aicher Scholl, Otl Aicher and Max Bill.
The Ulm school oriented itself in its early years on the Bauhaus of Dessau.
It thus was a great opportunity for me to read and visually go back in time, to get to know the history of this great institution. The main attributes of the Ulm model were new systematic design, inter-disciplinary co ordination and Team Work.

It encouraged creative research and training, combined with practical work, Anti-fascism, Cultural responsibility, functionalism, rationality and practical design which 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. 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.
It is thus these famous institutions which encourage the younger generation to get motivated and understand art and design in its manifest ways.
