Drachenfest 1922

Vasili Vassileevich Kandinsky (signed by artist), in or before 1922

Gropius had written about Bauhaus celebrations already in his Bauhaus manifesto in 1919. He attached importance to cheerful, ceremonial gatherings for teachers and students. A lantern festival was scheduled for June 1922 and a kite party for the autumn of that year. Invitations to these festivities were designed by teachers, such as Wassily Kandinsky, and printed by the Bauhaus; for instance, this one to the Kite Festival.
