	Teaching Art Nouveau: Images and Activities - Henry van de Velde
		In fact, Van de Velde moved to Germany and in 1907 helped found the Deutsche Werkbund, often regarded as a forerunner of the Bauhaus.
		Van de Velde had first achieved success as a painter, mostly with symbolist-tinged works in the neo-impressionist style of Seurat.
		Van de Velde's shift in focus was strongly influenced by the social doctrines of the arts and crafts movement and his own commitment to a more egalitarian future: "the hope of a happy and egalitarian future lies behind these new decorative works," he wrote in 1894 in La Société Nouvelle.

	Henry van de Velde - Furniture - Piano bench Maria van de Velde
		Henry van de Velde’s exclusive clientele viewed itself as a cultural elite and this status consciousness was not least reflected in the commissions given to the Belgian designer.
		Even though van de Velde’s new designs for sculptural concert grand pianos (for Karl Ernst Osthaus and the Weimar Nietzsche Archives) were not so successful, the piano bench was ordered by several clients.
		Van de Velde’s artistic creed, ‘Line is power’ is echoed eloquently in the harmonious design of this felicitous piece of furniture.

	ArchitectureWeek - Culture - Two Bauhaus Buildings: A Paradigm Shift - 2000.0830
		It is interesting to revisit these two famous buildings, by Henry Van de Velde and Walter Gropius respectively, in light of this debate.
		The roots of the manifesto are found in an earlier debate about the impact of technology on art—a confrontation between "individualism" and "standardization." Referred to as the Muthesius /Van de Velde debate, it took place during the 1914 Conference in Cologne as part of the first exhibition of the Deutscher Werkbund.
		For Henry Van de Velde, invention was the determinant of "culturally" valid forms.
