  • TLF: "Group picture: Heinrich Koch, Clemens Roeseler, Werner Jackson (Isaacsohn), Alexander Schawinsky, Marcel Breuer" [201]

    TLF, 10th April 1988: " ... when Gropius was about to leave the directorship of the Bauhaus in 1928 ... a commemorative album was collected ...; on this occasion, all the workshops prepared a page for inclusion in the album. I was asked to take group photographs of the Wandmalerei, the Druckerei and the Weberei; I also took several pictures of a group of „alte Bauhäusler“ (who had begun life at the school in Weimar and had come along to Dessau) at their request: This group consisted of Herbert Bayer, Marcel Breuer [sic], Josef Albers, Heinrich Koch, Andor Weininger, Clemens Röseler and Alexander Schawinsky. – Gropius leaving the Bauhaus was very vividly felt. ... [217]

    [Life at the Bauhaus group picture: Heinrich Koch (front left), Xanti Schawinsky (middle), Marcel Breuer (upper right), Werner Jackson (upper left), Hermann Clemens Röseler (lower right).
    In some cases this photograph is incorrectly referred to as The Bauhaus Band.]
