With a last name like Gropius he should have gone into politics.

What’s not mentioned here is the social degeneracy that was tied to the Bauhaus movement.

The German TV series, Bauhaus - A New Era, is quite good. It gives a predictable feminist spin to things, though. Gropius, born in 1883, wasn't a 21st century feminist. Could anyone have seriously expected him to be?

I find Bauhaus designs to be boring brick and glass boxes. Especially the bastardized American designs of the 1950’s that popped up everywhere like mushrooms.

There is the story about one Buffalo Bill show in Germany where the Kaiser Wilhelm II challenged Annie Oakley to shoot a cigar out of his mouth. Despite having a big hangover, Oakley aim was true. Supposedly during the Great War Oakley made a comment wishing she had missed.

Was there anyone in the early 20th century that did not have an affair with Alma Mahler?

Gropius isn’t the only German who was into the old west. I remember some segment on 60 minutes or maybe 20 20 ages ago about Germans getting into role playing Cowboys and Indians. Seemed weird to me but this was long before I’d heard of furbies and our current state of affairs.

I was stationed in Europe for 7 years. Many Germans, Dutch and other Europeans are enamored with the American West.
Many Germans mentioned that they’d like to drive Route 66, others want to ride a Harley through the western states. Holland had a popular TV program featuring American Western Culture.
