“The ultimate aim of all artistic activity is building! ... Architects, sculptors, painters, we must all get back to craft! ... The artist is a heightened manifestation of the craftsman. ... Let us form ... a new guild of craftsmen without the class divisions that set out to raise an arrogant barrier between craftsmen and artists! ... Let us together create the new building of the future which will be all in one: architecture and sculpture and painting.” TogetherFormArtistClassBuildingPaintingActivityUltimateAimRaisesArchitecturePainterCraftsArtisticManifestationBarriersDivisionGet BackArchitectArrogantSculptureSculptorsCraftsmanGuilds Author:Walter Gropius
