Collage inspired by the BAUHAUS collective.
Belgian architect-painter Henry Van de Velde had nominated German architect Walter Gropius as his successor on his retirement as director of the Großherzoglich-Sächsische Hochschule für Bildende Kunst in Weimar in 1915. In 1919, Gropius had his school, together with the Großherzoglich-Sächsische Kunstgewerbeschule merged into the new Staatliches Bauhaus Weimar. His programme, both theoretical and practical, was a synthesis of plastic arts, craft technology and industry.
Architects, sculptors and painters, we must all return to craft! For there is no such thing as 'professional art'. There is no essential difference between the artist and the artisan. The artist is a craftsman who surpasses himself. [...] However, no artist can do without the basis of craftsmanship. That is the origin of the artistic process. Mainly under the influence of the Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg, who together with Piet Mondrian had founded the art movement De Stijl in 1917, Bauhaus evolved from expressionism to modernism. That influence was probably decisive.
