Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack, teaching aids: Zwölfteiliger Farbkreis | Scale of Tones of Colours, 1922.
Ludwig Hirschfeld Mack, born in Germany in 1893, was an early member of the Bauhaus movement. His huge range of gifts – graphic, musical, even cinematic – was matched only by his compulsion to impart them to others. These works, all executed in the early 1920s, were meant to teach elements of composition and colour theory, but serve as beautiful images in their own right. Hirschfeld Mack was one of a huge number of artists, writers, filmmakers and intellectuals forced to leave Germany with the rise of the Nazis, and from 1940 until his death 25 years later he lived and taught in Australia. He was highly regarded by his pupils, one of whom was my father. Source Strangeflowers.wordpress
