the western world This style had developed in the as a response to the modern age at the seminal German art school The Bauhaus In Dessau The right wing dictator Hitler labelled the school and closed it Some of the teachers from Dessau emigrated to America where they the school Ironically it was from the United States that the Bauhaus style conquered the world when the American business corporations embraced the style for their headquarters Prom there it eventually reached institutional and domestic ar The obsession of the designers was with function was considered a crime The great

simplicity and minute nuances a kind of high wire balancing act that runof themill architects im itated at their own peril Mostly they produced excruciatingly Dol ing boxes However such watered down versions of the style as the bungalows of the 50s and 60s show an honesty and restraint that is totally missing in todays fancy yuppie housing Never before in Canadian history has there been such a

the measure of all things What about art Some splendid old photographs of Acton and Georgetown occupy the walls here and there There are a few original artworks by artists of this region There are also many reproductions and posters some of them of doubtful value This is a minor blemish however So much wall space is available that it doesnt PHOTO REPRINTS appearing in The Herald 8772201 Your
