Old Household Goods - Old Folk Art
Newspaper clipping from the Osnabrücker Tageblatt (January 1937): "Alter Hausrat - alte Volkskunst" (“Old Household Goods- Old Folk Art.”) The piece expresses an interest in handicrafts -the production and history of household items that were in use for centuries and represent the "high standards of handicraft abilities of the time, which likewise serve as the foundation for the artistic craftsmanship of our own time through their lucid and compelling design." By associating the "artistic" with the production of everyday household tools, this review locates "great art" in the homes of the people, rather than exclusively in galleries and museums.
