These grid-compositions have been an inspiration to artists and designers who rely upon the grid as an organizational design asset. Although neither Mondrian nor van Doesburg were masters at The Bauhaus, Bauhaus members were aware of De Stijl and influenced by contemporary art movements. Mondrian was a Dutch painter who contributed to the De Stijl (in English, "The Style") movement founded by Theo van Doesburg. Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg created oil paintings of grid structures that illustrate the foundations of Modernism.

By understanding the relationship between the grid and the organizational requirements of automation and mass replication, The Bauhaus is responsible for design solutions utilizing the grid that became popular in the 1920s and is still noticeable today.
Its origins are established in the High Neolithic Era (4500 - 3500 BCE), according to Joseph Campbell who defines the grid as "a geometrical organization of an aesthetic field." While the origin of the grid as an organizational structure precedes the Bauhaus art movement and institution by more than 5,500 years, the Bauhaus movement perceived the grid as not only an organizational structure, but as a structure that could be easily multiplied and reproduced. The grid is the invisible underlying structure that sustains the relationships between all formal elements in print design, interactive design, industrial design, architecture, fashion, and more. The grid is utilized in all areas of design as a structure upon which forms can be precisely placed, reflected, balanced or imbalanced. In Ellen Lupton's The ABCs of (triangle, square, circle) The Bauhaus and Design Theory, the movement is credited as being "the mythic origin of modernism" as founder Walter Gropius and László Moholy-Nagy were devoted to creating a "universal language" and embraced methods of mass production (Lupton and J. The precision of the grid in design and architecture was made relevant through studies at The Bauhaus.
For many students and educators, The Bauhaus has become a symbolic point of entry to art and design education.
