spirit of the new
I stand tall, I stand small,
squares, rectangles and the like;
glass, steel with clean modern lines,
symbolizing qualities of modern industrial civilization:
Who am I?
With rare moments of inspiration,
transcending conscious will;
the grace of heaven I change and evolve:
Who am I?
With my birth at Weimar,
to my final stop in Dessau,
I stand for change, reconstruction and a new beginning
of purpose and form must be seen as one:
Who am I?
Walter Gropius, purist and visionary,
founder of my beginning;
Inspired fusion of ideas, forming the spirits of form
and spirits of future:
Who am I?
Proportion, contrasts, geometrical aspects,
form and counter form,
function, unity and variation to consider:
Who am I?
I stand tall, I stand small,
squares, rectangles and the like;
BAUHAUS is my name:
Spirit of the new
pictured below are the Bauhaus founders, teachers and visionaries.
