Abstract: Paul Klee taught at Bauhaus for 10 years — he was not an architect though, and his primary effect, too, goes beyond the training of architects. Let us not forget that Walter Gropius invited yet unknown artists like the painters Johannes Itten and Lyonel Feininger, or the sculptor Gerhard Macks. If we want to directly connect to Paul Klee’s mind-set and perceive its impact on the development of modern art, we could hardly find a better introduction than a few lines from his writing, Creative Credo, which was used as a textbook in the Bauhaus.
Keywords: Bauhaus, Paul Klee, Creative Credo, traditio perennis, art philosophy, architectural education
