Oskar Schlemmer - Bauhaus staircase

Slim figures on a staircase that moves away from the viewer as if they wanted to sanction an epochal break: This is the symbolization of the announced closure of the Bauhaus school under the Nazis. A significant representation of the central theme of Schlemmer's work, namely the relationship between the human body and the environment: The dynamic human figures are contrasting with the static, geometric forms of the stairs.
