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
