Dear Sophie -
WLATER GROPIUS is celebrated not only as one of the fathers of modernism, but perhaps his greatest achievement was the formation of the BAHAUS where he served as the director along with Mies.
He cultivated a culture of the best and the brightest, most forward thinking artists, architects and designers of the time, building an enduring legacy. Some of the faculty included Mies Van der Rohe, Wassily Kandinsky, Bruno Taut, Eric Mendelsoh, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Paul Klee.
When he left Germany to escape the Nazi's, he ultimately settled in Massachusetts and taught at Harvard.
With love,
Mom
