herbert bayer: man crush and other stuff

I love me some some Herbert Bayer.

Everyone knows his seminal

Bauhaus graphic and photo work,

and as great as that material is,

I decided to try to show you some more obscure stuff.

I could have gone on and on,

but these were some of my favorites....

There's Herbie in 1960.

He would have been 60.

He died in 1985.
