Very interesting, thanks! Excellent photography, and I hadn't heard of her. A lot of food for thought. Great as the Bauhaus was, it seems to have been plagued with infighting, personality cult and so on, the things that happen when individuals are very important vis a vis the institution. Otoh it's doubtful it could have become what it was if it had been like a modern university, with less power in the hands of individuals (like Gropius).
