Bauhaus Exhibition

This shows the entrance area of the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. We visited the large exhibition "The Spirit of the Bauhaus". It's unfortunately  arranged maze-like in a confusing series of curving passages, accentuating its inevitable heterogeneity, given everything that was created and taught at the Bauhaus. It operated in three German cities from 1919 to 1933, when it closed under pressure from the Nazis. 

The large group portrait in this blip includes four key Bauhaus figures:  from left to right starting at the center are the founder Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, Wassily Kandinsky, and Paul Klee (Kandinsky and Klee are in the thumbnail). 

The stairs in the background lead up to another exhibition (which we did not visit), on "the scandals which have marked the great turning points in fashion history," starting in the 14 C (!); the bits of white on black lettering mark the entrance.    (Posted late next day)
