Text

On the occasion of this event, Rudolf Lutz designed a poster in which he had created correspondences between these three important aspects of the education at the Bauhaus and specific colours and/or shapes. 'Our Party' represented the collective work and life of the Bauhäusler; 'Our Work' stood for the physically and intellectually demanding areas of the education; and 'Our Play' described the liberation of the creative and intellectual potentials that were to be released in the preliminary course.
