EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a stunning print of "Relief" by Joost Schmidt, created in 1923 and reconstructed in 1976. The artwork is prominently displayed on the main building of Bauhaus-University Weimar, an architectural masterpiece designed by Henry van de Velde between 1904 and 1911. This iconic structure was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The relief itself is a testament to the abstract and geometric nature of Bauhaus art, showcasing Schmidt's innovative approach to sculpture. Its intricate design and careful attention to detail are evident even from a distance. The cream color palette adds a touch of elegance, harmonizing with the surrounding environment. This photograph beautifully captures the fusion of historic and modern elements found at this location. It serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that thrives within Germany, particularly in Thuringia where Weimar is located. Through restoration efforts, this remarkable piece has been preserved for future generations to appreciate. Its presence on the main building radiates creativity and education - core values embraced by both Bauhaus-University Weimar and its renowned alumni. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the visionary work that emerged during the early 20th century while simultaneously appreciating how it continues to inspire contemporary artists today.
