Helene von Heyden

Keler’s best-known work was a cradle for the first Bauhaus exhibition in 1923. His design reflects a Bauhaus trademark: the primary colours red, yellow and blue assigned to a square, triangle and circle as elementary shapes.

Kerkovius had already trained in painting when she arrived at the Bauhaus in Weimar. In Adolf Hölzel’s master class she also studied with Itten, who had once been her student in Stuttgart.
