The Bauhaus, 1919–1933

Paul Klee (Swiss, 1879-1940) • Senecio or Head of a Man Going Senile • 1922 • Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland

“A drawing is simply a line going for a walk.“ – Paul Klee

The Bauhaus was founded in 1919 in the city of Weimar by German architect Walter Gropius (1883–1969). Its core objective was a radical concept: to reimagine the material world to reflect the unity of all the arts. Gropius explained this vision for a union of art and design in the Proclamation of the Bauhaus (1919), which described a utopian craft guild combining architecture, sculpture, and painting into a single creative expression. Gropius developed a craft-based curriculum that would turn out artisans and designers capable of creating useful and beautiful objects appropriate to this new system of living.

"Form follows function" (Bauhaus design principle)

Marcel Breuer (Hungarian-German, 1902-1981) • B3 “Wassily” Armchair • 1925 • chrome-plated steel, canvas upholstery • Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City

"I am as much interested in the smallest detail as in the whole structure." – Marcel Breur

Annie Albers (German, 1899-1994) • Wall tapestry • Designed, 1925; woven, 1983

"Creating is the most intense excitement one can come to know." –Annie Albers

The Bauhaus was eventually closed under pressure from the Nazi regime, which branded the school, and modernism in general, as un-German.

Alexander Rothaug (1870-1946), 'Die Wunderblume' (The Wonder Flower), ''Die Kunst Unserer Zeit", Vol. 18, 1907 Source

I went with "Wonder Flower" rather than "Miracle Flower" in the above translation because the former feels more poetic than the latter.

Melons (2007) by Anis Hamadeh as part of the series "Before Their Diaspora: Twelve Palestine Drawings"

Harvesting olive pickers, melon sellers, a monastery, the Via Dolorosa, a water mill, a traditional soap factory, fishermen from the Sea of Galilee ... the twelve exhibits of the "Before their Diaspora" series shine in glossy colors. The 42 cm x 29,5 cm drawings trace back to photos from a richly annotated illustrated book of the same title. The Palestinian historian Professor Walid Khalidi created it to document the everyday life and the history of the Palestinians from 1876 until 1948.

“The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes.”--Goethe 

In what will become one of the standout shows of the season, the MoMA is presenting the first museum survey, To Look Without Fear, of the artist, Wolfgang Tillmans opening on September 12th. Curated by Roxana Marcoci, MoMA’s Senior Curator of Photography, the exhibition takes us on a serendipitous exploration. While the journey begins chronologically, the various mediums, juxtaposition of works, manners of display, and installations--all reveal an artist with deep curiosity and a tenacious commitment to freedom.

Now in his 50′s, Tillmans’s career has spanned the 1980s to the present. He began his explorations in a time before the internet when the use of a photocopier machine, video cameras and audio equipment had a different relevance than today. While his creative approach to art has adapted with the times, the common thread throughout his oeuvre has always been his humanistic sensibility. 

When asked about his work, Tillmans told a group of us that one should not “come to these pictures with ‘W Questions’ (why, what, when, who) but rather with ‘H Questions’--how?” The how this work makes us feel, how it connects us with others, and how it inspires--are some of the questions Tillmans asks of us. 

But as we all know...each of us will have our own unique experience engaging the work, wandering the rooms, and creating our own meaning. No matter what an artist asks of us, or curators tailor for us, sometimes the hardest thing to see is before our eyes. --Lane Nevares
