	title of this thread your message The fact that most books about the Bauhaus (with the exception of the still important catalogue of the first large exhibition on the Bauhaus in Stuttgart-somewhere in the sixties-...) mention Joseph Hoffmann (other than the 5 Hoffmann's and the 2 Hoffman's that were students in the Bauhaus) is the result of accuracy in the description of the historical context, and certainly not because there was some kind of sympathy between the two. Anyway that was my take on the question. I should leave it at that, but I could not resist further comments because we should at least be as accurate as possible and I find descriptions like:"Gropius I believe was working there" and "Joseph Hoffmann for instance was a leading figure of the Wiener Werkstätte who practiced at both institutes"...very confusing for someone who asked the question because neither is the truth. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
