Bauhaus

These artworks were created by the teachers of the "Bauhaus" on 18th of May,1924 as a birthday present for Walter Gropius, the founder of the "Bauhaus".

The Photo, which was chosen as a master, was taken from a newspaper and shows a crowd listening to a public radio amplifier during the announcement of the results of the elections for the German Reichstag in 1924:

The fascinating idea was, to show the different styles of the artists, by using the same photo as a master. I find it interesting, to see, how the different artists found very different ways of translating the "Original" into their very own artistic "language":

Lionel Feininger

Wassily Kandinsky

Paul Klee

Lásló Moholy-Nagy

Georg Muche

Thanks Paul,for visiting my blog.
I know, it's time for an update, but I've had a lot to do the last months. I think, that I will update it soon. For the artworks: I like M.C. Escher, too. It's fascinating to see, how our eyes can be fooled, because they want to see something, which isn't there. Reality, it's an illusion!
So, just check out my blog from time to time, you're comments are always appreciated.

Thank you very much, Paul... I will remind you of your offer, when you will play in Germany...(just kiddin')

As a musician, I consider it to be very important to be interested in all other forms of arts, like painting, literature, dance, etc. During the years, I've initiated some events with other musicians, painters and poets. It was wonderful and inspiring to see the world through the glasses of another artist and another kind of art. It helps you to go much deeper into your own art (music). I think, being creative means to look beyond one's own nose...!
