FORTY YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHY AT THE INSTITUTE OF DESIGN
THE NEW VISION
We know that art itself cannot be taught, only the way to it. We have in the past given the function of art a formal importance, which segregates it from our daily existence, whereas art is always present where healthy and unaffected people live. Our task is, therefore, to contrive a new system of education which, along with a specialized training in science and technology leads to a thorough awareness of fundamental human needs and a universal outlook.
New Bauhaus catalogue, 1937
