Though the careers of these artists overlapped for less than five years,when both taught at the Bauhaus in Germany ,their creatiev visions shared a number of concerns ,including an emphasis on experimentation ,the subversion of traditional boundaries between high and applied art,and a Utopian belief in art as a force for positive change.
