  • TLF 1947: "After completing the first term [at the Bauhaus 1927], the preliminary Vorkurs, I was admitted to the stage workshop, I was the happiest of students. ... I was particularly enarmored of making masks...[and] also retrieved the ancient art of woodcarving for masks, after studies of Japanese Nô masks, and succeded in producing sufficiently light, yet substantial, masks for practical use on the stage. ..." [502, cf. painting 'Still-Life with blue-and-white Blanket, Masks', 1932]
