In the life of Walter Gropius
The whole life1919–1922
An affair with Lily Hildebrandt

Bauhaus teachers: Klee, Kandinsky, Moholy-Nagy
Gropius’s school attracted a faculty that included Paul Klee, Johannes Itten, Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, László Moholy-Nagy, Otto Bartning and Wassily Kandinsky. The Bauhaus programme was experimental, with the emphasis on theory.
