This year marks the centennial of the founding of the Bauhaus. To celebrate the lasting legacy of this inspirational institution a display of Bernat Klein's work is on display in the library and front entrance of the main building. The head of the Bezalel in Jerusalem when Bernat studied there, Mordecai Ardon, had studied at the Bauhaus.
Happy International Women's day. Eva Crofts was one of many women who worked as freelance designers in the 1930s for companies such as Donald Brothers and Clarice Cliff. This design Coopersale was produced for Donald Brothers.
