Bauhaus - 4 artists

Inspired by a vision of bringing artists and craftsmen together to start a movement in art which would change the future of the world, Walter Gropius opened the doors to Bauhaus.  

“Architects, painters, sculptors, we must all return to crafts! For there is no such thing as “professional art”. There is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman. The artist is an exalted craftsman. By the grace of Heaven and in rare moments of inspiration which transcend the will, art may unconsciously blossom from the labour of his hand, but a base in handicrafts is essential to every artist. It is there that the original source of creativity lies.

Let us therefore create a new guild of craftsmen without the class-distinctions that raise an arrogant barrier between craftsmen and artists! Let us desire, conceive, and create the new building of the future together. It will combine architecture, sculpture, and painting in a single form, and will one day rise towards the heavens from the hands of a million workers as the crystalline symbol of a new and coming faith.” — Walter Gropius

Josef Albers Set of Stacking Tables, teacher at the Bauhaus uni/college in Germany. His stackable tables reflected the Bauhaus style as the product is a unity of art and industrial design.

Paul Klee as a past eductator a t Bauhaus, inspired by the vast amount of colour theory in the movement, Klee mostly was a painter with a passion for a balance od bright and bold colours.









Wassily Kandinsky - Yellow / Blue / Red.
He again taught and developed the idea, Kandinsky's works again underwent changes when he joined the college: individual geometrical elements increasingly entered the foreground, his palette was centralised arund the balance of primary colours and the circle's featured is used differently, as a sensual symbol of perfect form.
 Peter Keller, a student from Bauhaus, he studied mural painting with Wassily Kandinsky (eventually he became Kandinsky's assistant). This simple cradle, with its blue circle, yellow triangle, and red square, shows these influences.
