Product Insights
A monochrome black-on-white adaptation of Joost Schmidt's 1923 Weimar Bauhaus exhibition poster — the show where Gropius debuted Art and technology—a new unity, and whose text naming BAUHAUS and July-Sept 1923 functioned as an information system for the three-month exhibition — this Giant Art print is explicitly not a direct reproduction: it replaces the original tan, amber and burnt-orange palette and drops the Bauhaus primary-color doctrine, leaving a study in geometry and structure whose flat geometric language is shared with Metro, iOS 7 and Material Design. Black and white is the only colorway across all five sizes with no colored accents, letting it serve as the neutral layer in a color-saturated room and as the permitted single wall piece in Scandi, mid-century and minimalist interiors; matte white paper scatters light for glare-free viewing with no hot spot from any angle, though the deepest blacks sit flatter than a screen suggests while near-black tones stay separated. Price runs 48 CAD to 128 CAD unframed, print only, so any frame is excluded; the 8x10 is the cheapest, only size under 50, a 4:5 crop suited to gift, desk or shelf, while the four larger sizes share one 3:4 composition, with wall presence arguing for 18x24 or larger, the 24x32 step the best area per dollar and the 8x10 to 12x16 step the weakest, the 30x40 roughly a fifth the cost per square inch and spanning about 42% of a 180 cm sofa — an architectural accent rather than a full wall anchor — and, centred at the 57-60 inch eye level, topping out about 19 inches below an eight-foot ceiling; all five sizes, 8x10 through 30x40, are in stock with none back-ordered. The core tradeoff is deliberate: fidelity to Schmidt's poster — its palette and colour doctrine — is surrendered for a neutral, glare-free, room-integration-friendly monochrome, with the buyer absorbing framing cost on the smaller entry size where per-area value is weakest.
Verified claims
- Historical context
- Dates to the 1923 Weimar show where Gropius debuted Art and technology—a new unity
- Exhibition reference
- Text names BAUHAUS and July-Sept 1923, set apart as an information system for the three-month Weimar exhibition.
- Design origin
- Black-and-white adaptation of the 1923 Bauhaus exhibition poster designed by Joost Schmidt, not a direct reproduction; it is offered in black and white only.
- Design lineage
- Flat geometric language shared with Metro, iOS 7 and Material Design.
- Room integration
- Geometric art is the single wall piece a minimalist room's decor rule permits
- Aspect ratio
- The 8x10 is a 4:5 crop while the four larger sizes share one 3:4 composition
- Original palette
- Removes the original 1923 poster's tan, amber and burnt-orange colours, leaving only black on white.
- Color scheme
- Black and White is the only colorway across all five sizes, with no colored accents.
- Interior fit
- Monochrome lets it act as the neutral layer in a color-saturated room.
- Color doctrine
- Drops the Bauhaus primary-color doctrine, leaving a study in geometry and structure.
- Entry size
- The 8x10 is the cheapest size at 48 CAD, the only one under 50.
- Size increments
- The 24x32 step up from 18x24 is the best area per dollar; the 8x10 to 12x16 step is the weakest.
- Size selection
- Wall presence argues for the 18x24 size or larger rather than defaulting to the 8x10.
- Size availability
- All five sizes, 8x10 through 30x40, are in stock with none back-ordered.
- Hanging
- Centred at the 57-60 inch eye level, the 30x40 top edge sits about 19 inches below an eight-foot ceiling.
- Sofa proportion
- Over a 180 cm sofa the 30x40 spans about 42% of its width, an architectural accent rather than a full wall anchor.
- Framing
- Ships unframed as the print only, so the 48-128 CAD price excludes any frame.
- Visual legibility
- Matte white paper scatters light for glare-free viewing with no hot spot from any angle.
- Black level
- The deepest blacks sit flatter on matte than a screen suggests, while near-black tones stay separated.
- Room fit
- Suits Scandi, mid-century and minimalist rooms, where geometric art is the permitted decor.
- Palette integration
- Black and white as the neutral base of the Bauhaus palette, not a color accent
- Designer
- The 1923 poster is by Joost Schmidt, who later headed the Bauhaus print workshop
- Size guidance
- The 8x10 at 48 CAD is the gift, desk or shelf pick; larger formats go wall-scale
- Size value
- The 8x10 is 48 CAD and the 30x40 is 128, the larger print about a fifth the cost per square inch.
- Wall fit
- The 30x40 spans about 42% of a 180 cm sofa and leaves 19 inches under an eight-foot ceiling.
- Size and price ladder
- The five sizes run 8" x 10" at 48 CAD, 12" x 16" at 58 CAD, 18" x 24" at 78 CAD, 24" x 32" at 98 CAD, and 30" x 40" at 128 CAD.
- Frame compatibility
- The 8-inch by 10-inch, 12-inch by 16-inch, and 18-inch by 24-inch sizes fit widely stocked frame sizes, while the 24-inch by 32-inch and 30-inch by 40-inch sizes generally need custom framing or a larger frame with a mat.
- Orientation
- All listed sizes are portrait format, with dimensions given as short side by long side, so the print hangs vertically.
- Edition type
- This is an open-edition decor print, not a limited or numbered run, and it is not signed.

User questions the originality of Bauhaus 1923 Etsy posters
Narroe it down to the original artist and/or series of works. I would like to get the print or files to print from a more "official" source than a random etsy store that charges 5 bucks for the pdfs that i can then print myself (unless it turns out these specific color variations are from that store or something, but for that it would help to know the original). Basically, I dont want to buy art from grifters. I did find out about the exhibition, but none of the posters i found looked like the ones i linked.
