Blühender Baum vor der Fensterfront im Diakonissen-Mutterhaus Elbingerode
Blossoming tree in front of the window in the deaconess motherhouse in Elbingerode
April 14 has been designated World Quantum Day in honour of Planck’s Constant which can be rounded to h~ 4.14×10−15 eV·s (and some folks write April 14 as 4/14*). Planck’s constant comes up a lot in quantum mechanics; for instance a photon’s energy is h times its frequency). So I thought I would share Feynman Bauhaus.

Nearly finished reading "Bauhaus Goes West". Fascinating book about all of the various people involved with the German design school who emigrated to Britain and America in the 1930's after the Nazis shut the school down.
What comes out to me is how much Britain & America gained from this influx of creative designers. A lesson for today about the benefits of immigration.

For #genuary18 (Bauhaus), I focused on the work of Joseph Albers, who taught at the Bauhaus and was married to Anni Albers (see #genuary11). A lot of his most famous work is based on color, but I found his shape-focused monochromes the most interesting.
'Anni Albers' is the prompt for #genuary11 . I only vaguely knew her work when I read the prompt and was so glad to be exposed to it more thoroughly. This is particularly inspired by her weaving "Intersecting".

For the inaugural post of a new hashtag series, Great Albums of the 1980s, I review the bracing debut album by #Bauhaus from 1980. Visit @Great_Albums for more.
Reviews will be drawn from a long, dynamic list of albums. Add your recommendations in the comments here or below any other post.
"Stigmata Martyr" is a seminal track by Bauhaus, a pioneering gothic rock band. Released in 1980 on their debut album "In the Flat Field", the song was later included in their 1982 album "The Sky’s Gone Out". It delves into themes of pain, sacrifice, religion, and spirituality, showcasing Bauhaus' unique and haunting style.
