Oskar Schlemmer

Oskar Schlemmer was a German artist and choreographer, best known for his work with the Bauhaus school in the early 20th century. He explored the relationship between the human body, space, and movement through innovative paintings, sculptures, and theatrical performances. Schlemmer’s most famous concept is the "Triadic Ballet," which combined costume design and dance to emphasize geometric shapes and abstract forms. His work sought to merge art, technology, and performance, challenging traditional notions of form and function, and influencing modern design, theater, and performance art.
