Personal relations in Bauhaus were not as harmonious as they may seem now, half a century later. The Swiss painter Itten and the Hungarian Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, who taught the Preliminary Course, left after strong disagreements in 1928, Paul Klee - in 1931. Some, for instance Kandinsky and Albers, stayed loyal until the closing of Bauhaus in 1933.

Bauhaus were the first and last 4AD act to "graduate" to the parent label. Ivo took this opportunity to redefine 4AD's mission: rather than acting as a feeder imprint for Beggars Banquet, 4AD would now stand on its own.

In 1999 Bauhaus-Dessau College started to organize postgraduate programs with participants from all over the world. This effort has been supported by the Bauhaus-Dessau Foundation which was founded in 1994 as a public institution.

Drawing heavily from David Bowie and Iggy Pop, Bauhaus formed in 1979 when brothers David J and Kevin Haskins and their childhood friend, Daniel Ash, teamed up with manorexic dancer Peter Murphy. They churned out an album every year until 1983 but had just limited commercial success in their native U.K. and almost no recognition in the U.S.

A piece of little known trivia: Bauhaus, the goth group out of England, can be credited with starting the whole goth rock movement. More than a decade and a half after their disbanding, Bauhaus continues to have a loyal cult following; their influence on the genre evident in the popularity of goth.

Vasily Kandinsky and Paul Klee passed through the Bauhaus, too, but Moholy-Nagy preferred the look of Russian Constructivism. His paintings share its planes floating in a pale field. His kinetic sculpture, sometimes with its shadows projected on a wall, owe something to its stage sets and to its faith in a world in motion. Dada had introduced kinetic sculpture, too, and Moholy-Nagy ... made photograms, or the direct imprint of objects on photosensitive paper, like Man Ray. He seems eager to preserve the essences of the modern world, as in his photographs of cities. Perhaps that explains why, for all its hyperactivity, his images look at once static and cluttered.
