A Weimar reform pedagogue and his artworks
The exhibition at the Bastion Crown Prince shows the artistic variety of a Weimar reform teacher. Theo Hofschläger taught art and crafts at the Lebensgemeinschaftsschule Spandau, which was founded in 1922 – until he was banned from his profession by the National Socialists in 1933 and the school was closed. However, he continued to document his travels in diaries and watercolor paintings, portrayed himself and his family, created linoleum prints and impressive woodcarvings.
