bauhaus bauhaus bauhaus

Loving Berlin. It was really amazing to see the seminal drawings of Itten, Gropius, Moholy-Nagy and then the next generation--Albers and Klee and their studies with color at the Bauhaus museum. The surprise to me was Marcel Breuer's innovations with tubular furniture although van der Rohe seems to remain the most impressive in that field. I was not so familiar with craft in the movement and loved seeing the weavings and ceramics.Funny the textiles were made primarily by women...who knew...The school community was so brilliant and vibrant, a shame it had to dissolve.
