Photograph of the Painting (Wandbild Zyklos) by Oskar Schlemmer

Albert Renger-Patzsch (1897-1966)

Destroyed Oskar Schlemmer

Oskar Schlemmer was known for his experiments with form, color, and space. The "Wandbild Zyklos" by Schlemmer was a significant work within his oeuvre and the Bauhaus movement. In 1937, this work was confiscated and destroyed by the Nazi party as 'degenerate art.' Albert Renger-Patzsch, a prominent German photographer known for his contributions to the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity), photographed this painting just before it was destroyed. Although the original "Wandbild Zyklos" no longer exists physically, we still know something of it through this documentation.
