I see you like flight of the conchords - good man. Rep NZ

Bauhaus is actually the first design school to have ever existed...it was in Germany and was shut down after the Nazis took power...lets just say that there were quite a few jewish students....and of course the Nazis didn't like any form of of art that wasn't "academic"...anyways, Graphic Design, and even design in its larger sense (combination of beauty and the parctical, the usefull, like Threadless stufff for example) would not exist today without Bahaus....but I guess here the basic geometric shapes in this one refer vaguely to some Bahaus designs...or maybee to some paul Klee paintings too...

I see the influence of Bauhaus toy design in particular when looking at this shirt. Check out some of the toys here - you'll see a lot of strong geometric shapes and primary colours. Montessori toys also share some of this design philosophy, like this geometric puzzle board.

I don't think there's a whole underlying hidden message in the shirt though :P just a strong Bauhaus influence.

I got this from it:
