TLF: "Werner Siedhoff in wooden mask, posing with another mask, both by Lux Feininger... [photos] were taken under Oskar Schlemmer's direction" [201]

Scheper: "The mask while being an object of multiple variations in shape, color and material is as well subject of the theories and lessons of the Bauhaus stage class as it is part of practical experimenting on stage... These multiple possibilities of mask-design and production are very well represented by the variety of masks produced by Schlemmer and his students - notably Lux Feininger - often designed in team work and produced by the stage workshop..."* [209, p. 268-269]
