Oskar Schlemmer was born in Stuttgart. After the death of his parents, he began training as an artistic draughtsman and took lessons in figure drawing and silence. Later, at the Stuttgart Academy of Fine Arts, he met the painters and graphic artists Willi Baumeister, Alf Bayrle and Otto Meyer-Amden. He tried his hand at self-employment in Berlin, approaching Cubism and the ideas of the French avant-garde. Back in Stuttgart, the pioneer of modern art Adolf Richard Hölzel was his master, Schlemmer was allowed to present three of his works at the Kunst-Ausstellung Stuttgart in 1914. His interest in theatre and ballet also developed.
Because of a commission with Willi Baumeister together for the Deutsche Werkbundausstellung, he was noticed by Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus and co-founder of modern architecture. After his military service in World War I, Schlemmer worked again with Baumeister, for a joint exhibition at Kunsthaus Schaller in Stuttgart and later at the gallery Der Sturm in Berlin. When the artist married Helena Tutein in 1920, he was also hired by Gropius in Weimar as director of the mural painting workshop. Here he created some of his most important works such as "Bauhaus Stairs", which became a symbol of the youth cult movement and for modernism. During his time at Bauhaus, he tried to combine technology and art, as well as painting and architecture. Typical for Schlemmer is also known for the back view of his figures, such as in "Tischgesellschaft" (1923) and "Vorübergehender" (1924), as well as for the depiction of these as doll-like, interchangeable figures without fancy details. Besides he worked as a costume and stage designer (e.g. for operas by Oskar Kokoschka), finally he presented his own ballet, the "Triadic Ballet". This ballet was shown in new editions in many German cities and gained international fame. His career at the Bauhaus also went well, he gave drawing lessons, taught about stage theory as well as biological and philosophical aspects and was responsible for many innovations.
artist Oskar Moll offered Schlemmer a position at the State Academy of Arts and Crafts in Wroclaw, where he headed an art class for many years. Schlemmer was also invited to the Venice Biennale, was part of art exhibitions all over the world and had his solo exhibition in Berlin in 1931. Under National Socialism, one of Schlemmer's forest paintings was painted over, numerous others were destroyed, his retrospective could not even be opened, and his job was terminated. He had to do commissioned work for others and was unable to devote himself to his own art - this caused him attacks of weakness and mental unrest. He died in 1943 in Baden-Baden.
