Bauhaus. Not just ideas but people
On the occasion of the centenary of the Bauhaus foundation, the Museum of the Twentieth Century houses Nicholas Fox Weber, author of Bauhaus. Life and art of six masters of modernism, just released, in Italian, for the publishing house Il Saggiatore. The meeting will be introduced by Antonello Negri, professor at the State University of Milan, art critic and author of numerous monographs on painting and twentieth century architecture, curator of the essay by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Painting, photography, film.

The American writer and art critic Nicholas Fox Weber has been the director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation for over 40 years and in the pages of his book he gives us back - as in a biographical novel and with simple and direct language - a lively and captivating portrait of the founders of the Bauhaus School.

The history of artists' thoughts is thus intertwined with the story of their personal life, a story full of details, anecdotes and even secrets never revealed that Weber has collected directly from the spouses Albers, the couple of artists that the author knew over the years Seventy, when he was still a student at Yale and with whom, in the years to come - until Josef's death in 1976 and Anni in 1994 respectively - he made a relationship of deep and priceless admiration and intimate friendship and confidence. A precious testimony that brings the public into contact with Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Vasily Kandinsky, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. These artists, who thanks to the exciting story by Nicholas Fox Weber live to offer the public the truest representation of that incredible human and cultural experience that was the Bauhaus

During the meeting, the documentary A Touching Sight (Italy 2019, 15 ′), produced by the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation (directed by Alberto Amoretti, photography by Giovanni Hänninen) will be screened. The documentary was produced on the occasion of the recently concluded show Vojage Inside a Blind Experience (Siena; Cork and Zagreb) in which the tactile exploration of some of the works and materials used by Josef and Anni Albers was proposed, stimulating sighted visitors and blind people to recognize their characteristics and peculiarities.

In this extraordinary group biography, Weber brilliantly brings to life the pioneering art school in Germany's Weimar and Dessau in the 1920s and early 1930s, ...










Nicholas Fox Weber, for thirty-four years head of the Albers Foundation, spent many years with Anni and Josef Albers, the only husband-and-wife artistic pair at the Bauhaus (she was a textile artist; he was a professor and an artist, in glass, metal, wood, and photography). The Alberses told him their own stories and described life at the Bauhaus with their fellow artists and teachers, Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as well as with these figures' lesser-known wives and girlfriends.

L IS FOR LILY





Paul Klee
Walpurgis Night 1935
Tate




Karoline Stumpf, known as Lily, met Paul Klee at a concert in 1899. Throughout their lives together, music underpinned their relationship. An accomplished musician, Lily evidently had a rebellious response to her father’s dismissal of Klee’s attentions. They met in secret, were secretly engaged and, in 1906, were married in Bern rather than her family home. When they settled in Munich it was Lily’s piano lessons that sustained the household.


Once Klee was appointed to the Bauhaus, Lily was able to afford treatment for her precarious health at spas in Germany and Switzerland. Her tenacity was seen in the role she played in transferring the household to Switzerland in 1933 and, after Klee’s death in 1940, in establishing a public legacy for his work.


At a crucial moment following Klee’s death, as Lily was very old and unwell, an agreement was made in Washington allowing the allies to sequestrate German assets abroad, and as both Lily and Paul were still German citizens, she feared that the Klee’s work would be seized and distributed randomly. In the moments before she died, Lily signed an agreement securing Klee’s work as a collection with a charitable purpose, and it was assigned to a number of public collections in Switzerland.
