	title of this thread your message My approah to DA is conversational rather than academic. I apologize if I've led anyone astray, but merely inaccurately recalled info...but hoped it lead to a deeper and correcting discussion. Thank you Koen your detailed contributions (and mild scolding). Let us not forget that the Bauhaus was influenced by numerous circumstances, such as Russian modern art movements (Constructivism, Suprematism etc), De Stijl, Cubism and a growing industrial demand. We can easily see the conversation of various views, including the WW, contributing to the Bauhaus development. Would it be safe to say that the Bauhaus, in a way directly or indirectly, a reaction to the WW just as the WW was a development of the Arts & Crafts movement...which was a reaction to Victorian industrialization? Regretfully, what I've read on the Bauhaus has been leisurely and not studiously. As one of the most important contributors to Modernism, it should be better understood. Two books I recall reading are Bauhaus: Crucible of Modernism by Elaine Hochman The Bauhaus: Weimar Dessau Berlin Chicago by Hans Wingler I'm positive Elaines book delves into the relationship between WW and the Bauhaus, including Gropius. I did some basic online sleuthing...what I came up with hopefully adds to this conversation positively.
