- Rooms and Things:Heinrich Tessenow’s Interior Perspectives
- Abstract
- Through the comparison of four interior perspectives that Heinrich Tessenow created between 1903 and 1913, this essay develops four different notions to understand the work of Tessenow. These drawings of living rooms can be seen to move from a density of hatches and scribbles, evoking Stimmung, to the Abstraktion of plain outlines on a white surface. As such, his drawings seem to focus more and more on Sachlichkeit, until finally, there is a shift towards an evocation of anonymous traditions of making things, expressed as a timeless essence through their Gewöhnlichkeit.
