Bauhaus was a school in Germany that combined crafts and fine arts. It was open from 1919 to 1933. The school was heavily influenced by modernism and an artistic mindset. Many artists were exiled under the early Nazi regime, spreading their art style to many different countries.
McCarthyism was the name for the fear-induced control of public media and propaganda in the 1950's. Thanks to the Cold War and extremely high tensions with Russia, Communism and everything associated with it became taboo. Senator Joseph McCarthy took it upon himself to blacklist many artists in art, music, and film that he suspected to be Communist without any legitimate evidence.
