Being on " oriented collaboration with industry concept " was rejected, not least because he was " from the beginning determined a new, aligned to the architecture art [ was ] to pave the way against the odds ."
The impending equality between professors and workshop leaders and irreconcilable differences had the effect that " used apart from the architecture, autonomous and functional art at the Bauhaus did not develop " could. Therefore, the State Academy of Fine Arts was established in 1921, again found at the academically - traditional working masters such as Richard Engelmann, Max Thedy, Walther Klemm, Alexander Olbricht and Hugo Gugg (teacher of Hedwig Holtz- summer).
