Typical for him and why he was fired from TOH...

🙄

No, this isn't all that "dumbed-down", but absolutely is POPULAR in the sense of typical tour led by a competent docent at the historic home. I've been studying the Bauhaus since I was 10. I could quibble with any number of comments Bob Villa made, but isn't he an average educated "every man" on a guided tour? Who knew he knows about fabrics? The DOCENT is far from ignorant. He appears to be encyclopedic --more importantly-- able to link a half dozen notable features of the home with early modernist canonic context. I do wish Mrs Gropius was referred to by her first name: Ilse. I am aware of her importance, including in their foray to S America (The kind of matters I like to study in depth). Her unofficial role was dictated by her gender. I have never seen the home in this way, that only a room-by-room video, or focussed newer detail shots, could provide. Due to the video spectrum, and dreary day ambient lighting that amazing "Bauhaus 'pink'" upstairs terrace wall outside looks nearly desaturated in the video. Hey, it was 1985. "'Papa' Feininger" was asked by Walter Gropius to come and meet the painters for mixing and "adding of lead"(!) for that pink, according to W Gropius' published papers. The Gropius family never repaid the generous $25,000 loan for their home, nor own it. It's in good hands now, for sure.

you clearly don't, which is why you came here. you can't learn anything without a tv show feeding information into your head. you are incapable of reading a book because you obviously can't read. you obviously cannot process information you hear either.
