A professor was pontificating on Bauhaus at a public presentation in NYC. A microphone was set up for questions. My old friend (ohhhh. I am now as old as he was then) Hugo Bloch, who attended Bauhaus, stepped up to the microphone, and in his deep resonate voice said, "Well, that vas not qvait the way it was!". For the remainder of the program the audience forgot about the professor and were all ears listening to Hugo describe all kinds of details about Bauhaus. Even the location of various teachers offices and studios.
Interesting pictures. Thanks.

The Bauhaus lecture took place in late 1970s.

Bauhaus biggest impact in US was probably not in architecture or photography, but rather in music and dance via Black Mountain College in North Carolina. The Bauhaus teacher I knew socially in CA was Trude Guermonprez, my then wife's weaving teacher, who had moved to Oakland College of Arts and Crafts. Other points of Bauhaus impact included Mendocino Art Center, where I got second-hand Minor White via Conrad Forbes...which wasn't Bauhaus-related. I dont recall the names of the Bauhaus people who taught occasionally in Mendocino other than Trude, when not teaching in Oakland. There was also a ceramics school in Oregon, directed by a Bauhaus-related exile.
