From the Getty Museum record
Designed by Walter Gropius, the new workshop building at the Bauhaus School was destined to become one of the best-known examples of International Style architecture. In Lucia Moholy's view of the nearly completed structure, the radically different wall of glass is a prominent feature, but the severe lines of this functionalist masterpiece are surprisingly softened at one end by the shadow of a tree's branches.
