Om maleriet
Bauhaus Stairway, or in German, Bauhaustreppe, is an oil painting by German artist Oskar Schlemmer, completed in 1932. It depicts the Bauhaus school, a German art school that closed in 1933, due to the Nazis' taking power. It is on display at the Museum of Modern Art, in New York. The portrait depicts students ascending the stairs at the Bauhaus school, with all but one walking away from the viewer.

Imens i livet hos Oskar Schlemmer
Hele livet1932
The Breslau Academy closes; he moves to Berlin
Schlemmer is obliged to leave the Breslau Academy when it is closed down in the wake of the financial crisis following the Wall Street crash, and in 1932 he takes up a professorship at Berlin’s United State Schools for Fine and Applied Art.
1933
Forced to resign from the Berlin school under Nazi pressure
After the National Socialists come to power in 1933, Schlemmer’s contract with the Berlin United Schools of Art is terminated and he is forced to resign under pressure from the Nazis. His style changes too: the works become smaller, the figures move closer together, and the forms become softer and rounder, in warm, often dark colours.
1933–1937
Moves to Eichberg on the Swiss border, then to Sehringen
The Schlemmers move to Eichberg near the Swiss border and then to Sehringen, before his pictures are displayed at the Degenerate Art Exhibition in Munich in 1937.
1933–1943
Ten years of “inner emigration”
Schlemmer spends the last ten years of his life in a state of “inner emigration”; Max Bill wrote that it was as if a curtain of silence had descended over him.
