This poster for a 1973 exhibition at the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin features a study by Bauhaus student Eugen Batz, executed in 1929 for Kandinsky’s foundational course at the legendary German design school. Kandinsky established through a simple questionnaire that most people associate the color yellow with a triangle, red with a square and blue with a circle. These shape and color combinations, explored extensively by students in Kandinsky’s drawing and painting courses, have since become synonymous with the Bauhaus.
