My latest argument for the contemporary influence of the Bauhaus: Lady Gaga.
Before you take me seriously, you should probably read this article published by Slate over the summer.
And then, watch the Bad Romance video, paying attention to the beginning and the golden costume about 3:30 minutes in:
The Bauhaus theater workshop was short-lived, but perhaps we are seeing an influence of Oskar Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet?
Or is the 'haus' reference just an attempt at conveying cultural proficiency, right along with her little French interjection... ?
This is what it means to be an art historian: Creating your own connections and drawing your own conclusions. I'm so proud of you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the Slate article; I really enjoyed it.
You should call it a Frencherjection
