  • Michiko & Iwao Yamawaki / Mariko Takagi and Helena Capkova
    This episode is dedicated to a Japanese couple who went all the way to Germany to study at the Bauhaus in Dessau: Iwao and Michiko Yamawaki. When they met each other in 1928 Iwao Fujita had already studied architecture in Tokyo and was also actively involved in the theatre. Michiko came from a very wealthy family and was a culturally educated young woman of 18 years. By marrying into the Yamawaki family Iwao profited from their wealth. He happily took on Michiko’s family name in exchange for a World trip with that one final destination: the Bauhaus in Dessau. In July of 1930 the Yamawakis left Japan, stayed for some time in New York and then went on to Berlin and Dessau. After the preliminary course Michiko decided – due to her interest in fashion – to go into the weaving workshop. Iwao, though an already formed architect, chose to continue in the photo class. He developed a special interest in photo montages. One of them entitled „The attack on the Bauhaus“ became the visual epitome of the forced closure of the Bauhaus by the Nazis and is today often used as an illustration of that dark last period of the Bauhaus. These two years at the Bauhaus shaped the future of the Yamawakis sustainably. Upon returning to Japan in 1932, they became pivotal figures in introducing Bauhaus principles to their home country. They brought back a vast collection of Bauhaus objects, books, and furniture, creating a Bauhaus-inspired ambiance in their Tokyo home. And they both taught at art schools using the Bauhaus principles of Josef Albers’ Vorkurs. On this episode not one but two great researchers help me tell the story of Michiko and Iwao Yamawaki: Helena Capkova and Mariko Takagi. And a special shout-out to Anika Takagi who allowed me to use her wonderful illustrations of the Yamawakis.

  • Fritz Kuhr / Ute Famulla
    This brand-new episode of "bauhaus faces" is about a rather unknown Bauhausler: Fritz Kuhr. Although he was at the Bauhaus for roughly 7 years he is widely unknown. Kuhr was the student spokesperson of the Bauhaus Master Council, part of the infamous Bauhaus band, helped edit and produce the Bauhaus publications with Ernst Kállai and had a connection to the communists at the Bauhaus. After leaving the Bauhaus in 1930 Kuhr moved to Berlin and tried to make a living as a freelance artist. He was internationally represented by the gallery Ferdinand Möller and though he seemingly was a rising star in the vibrant art scene of the 1930s, this all came to an abrupt end when the Nazis defamed him as a degenerated artist in 1937. Kuhr stayed in Berlin during World War 2. His atelier was bombed twice and many of his works were partly or completely destroyed. After the second bombing in 1944 Kuhr was drafted into military service and became a Soviet prisoner of war. On his return to Berlin, he was a „bird-free painter in berlin. no studio. no light. no paper. hardly any canvases and oil colours. nevertheless. a new beginning. made possible by the comradeship of colleagues who are also suffering. “ In 1948 Kuhr was appointed as university teacher at the Hochschule der Bildenden Künste in Berlin (today UdK Berlin). From now on, he fully concentrated on his art students. Fritz Kuhr died in 1975. For this episode fellow art-historian Ute Famulla tells Kuhr’s story. Her family has clos ties with Kuhr and today owns his estate. _____________________________

  • Anni & Josef Albers / Brenda Danilowitz
    In the latest episode of “bauhaus faces,” we dive into the remarkable story of another iconic Bauhaus couple: Anni and Josef Albers. Their lives and legacies are deeply intertwined— from their first meeting in 1922 in Weimar to their lasting impact on art, design, and education in the US. Anni, who would later shortly lead the weaving workshop at the Bauhaus and then at Black Mountain College, and Josef, a visionary "young master" of the preliminary course, fled Nazi persecution in 1933. In the U.S., they helped shape the Black Mountain College and continued to innovate—Anni in textiles and jewelry, Josef in teaching and painting. Inspired by their travels to Mexico and their love for geometric forms, their art resonates to this day. Join me and Brenda Danilowitz, Chief Curator of The Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, as we explore the incredible journey of this Bauhaus power couple. ________________________________ SHOW NOTES bauhausfaces.com⁠ | @bauhausfacespodcast (Instagram) | @bauhausfaces (YouTube) The Josef & Anni Albers Foundation | @albersfoundation (Instagram) PHOTOS BY JOSEF ALBERS https://www.albersfoundation.org/art/highlights/andreas-grote-frühjahr-30-mama-andreas-grote-spring-30-mother | https://www.albersfoundation.org/art/highlights/tenayuca-mexico_1976-7-632 | https://www.albersfoundation.org/art/highlights/aspen-summer-51 ANJA GUTTENBERGER: „Festive and Theatrical.

  • Ise Gropius / Jana Revedin
    This episode of "bauhaus faces“ is not about a typical Bauhäusler, not a student or a master. She nevertheless played crucial part in documenting the history of the Bauhaus between 1923 and 1928 in her diary. Of course she was also Walter Gropius’s closest confidant, advisor, and editor, his wife, Ise Gropius. Ilse Frank was raised in Hannover and worked as a Red Cross Nurse during World War I. She moved to Munich in 1922 to work at a publishing house. When her mother was dying Ilse returned to Hannover in 1923. Here she met Walter Gropius at one of his lectures about the Bauhaus. They started to write letters to each other and quickly became affectionate. She wrote to him „Up to now my whole life I felt as if I have been pushing a very heavy boat over a gravel path. And the minute I met you, my big boat suddenly glided into water.“ She had been waiting to meet a person like him, although at first she was more interested in his Bauhaus idea than in the man himself; that came with getting to know him better. So, she broke off the engagement to her cousin, moved to Weimar and only a few months after knowing Walter Gropius, they got married. From the very start, their relationship was a symbiotic one, also shown in their nicknames. While she Walter Gropius was known at the Bauhaus as “Pius”, Ise was often called “Pia”. Ise Gropius entered the service of the Bauhaus as a secretary, editor, organizer and ‘equal partner’ for Gropius. Soon, she became “Mrs. Bauhaus” and liked her role very much. „The Bauhaus infected me,“ she would later say. For this episode the architect and author Jana Revedin helps to tell the story of Ise Gropius. She wrote a biographical novel called "Jeder hier nennt mich Frau Bauhaus“. The novel is based on Ise Gropius as a main character and her diary that she kept during her stay at the Bauhaus from 1923 to 1928. __________________________________________________ www.bauhausfaces.com | @bauhausfaces JANA REVEDIN www.revedin.com ISE GROPIUS bauhauskooperation.de, gropius.house NOVEL "JEDER HIER NENNT MICH FRAU BAUHAUS" www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de FILM „Wie wohnen wir gesund und wirtschaftlich: Neues Wohnen“ https://vimeo.com/292714014?from=outro-embed TOUR OF THE GROPIUS HOUSE https://gropius.house/location/video-tour-by-ise-gropius/ THE FORGOTTEN STORY OF „MRS BAUHAUS“ by Katy Kelleher, 2018, https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-forgotten-story-mrs-bauhaus

  • Pius Pahl / Peter-Jan and Tyll Pahl
    This episode of bauhaus faces is about the Bauhaus educated architect Pius Pahl. After being trained as carpenter and interior designer, he decided it was time to go to the Bauhaus and become an architect. He studied with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Ludwig Hilberseimer, who would both become essential for his approach towards designing buildings. Pius Pahl is also one of the students who made the Bauhaus move from Dessau to Berlin. After successfully graduating with his Bauhaus diploma in 1933 he went on a journey to Switzerland, Italy and North Africa before starting to work in different architecture offices. In World War II he was drafted by the military and became a prisoner of war. Although he set up his own building office in 1946 in fear for his four sons to also become soldiers in a war – it was the time of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the West – Pius Pahl decided it was time to emigrate. While he wasn’t allowed to go to the US to work with Mies van der Rohe in Chicago (this was his dream) the choice fell on South Africa, because his wife Jeanette was born there and could speak English fluently. Pius, however, struggled during the first years as his language skills were underwhelming. Once he and his family had relocated to Stellenbosch and he had started – once again – his own office Pius Pahl planned several public and private houses, adapted to the possibilities and materials there. Two of his four sons, Jan-Peter and Tyll Pahl invited me into their houses to talk to me about their father and his work.    ________________________________________ SHOW NOTES @bauhausfaces | bauhausfaces.com | YouTube https://www.vervemagazine.co.nz/african-bauhaus/ http://oharchitecture.blogspot.com/2011/07/oh6-pius-pahl-monograph.html https://www.stellenboschheritage.co.za/resource/pius-pahl-architectural-biography-part-1-pg-1-12 https://artefacts.co.za/main/Buildings/archframes.php?archid=2113 https://artefacts.co.za/main/Buildings/bldgframes_mob.php?bldgid=15093 COVER PHOTO: Pius Pahl, Detail of a self-portrait, Bauhaus Berlin, 1933, Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin
