(wiki) // ANDOR WEININGER (1899-1986) studied at the Bauhaus between 1921 and 1928, and the designs he prepared during this time for the Spherical Theater and the Mechanical Stage Revue are some of the most important and radically new theater designs of the twentieth century. His paintings and drawings can be found in the collections of many significant museums in the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, and Hungary. The book quotes generously from Weininger's letters and his taped recollections, so the reader can enjoy Weininger's lively and frank account about the most important art school of the twentieth century and the famous artists he met there, including Kandinsky, Klee, Schlemmer, and Moholy-Nagy. One hundred twenty full-color reproductions of Weininger's work and fifty fascinating photographs, mainly from the time he spent at the Bauhaus, illustrate the book. The book also includes two CDs featuring Weininger's previously unpublished piano performances of pieces from the repertoire of the Bauhaus Band, which he founded in 1924, and his spoken recollections of the band. The band was an important Bauhaus institution and these are the first CDs to present its repertoire.
