Curatorial Talk. Andrea Dietrich and Julia Draganovic try to evoke the enthusiastic atmosphere in Weimar at the beginning of the Twenties to analyse the reasons and motivations that led to the foundation of the Bauhaus.

A short introduction into the work of Gropius, Feininger, Itten and Klee will show the patrimony which Bauhaus left .
