About the artist

Xanti Schawinsky

Swiss

1904–1979

Xanti Schawinsky (1904–1979) was a Swiss-born artist of Polish-Jewish descent whose life and work bridged some of the most important movements of twentieth-century art. Trained at the Bauhaus in Weimar under masters such as Paul Klee and Oskar Schlemmer, he absorbed the school’s spirit of experimentation and unity of the arts. His early career in Germany and Italy combined theatre design, painting, and graphic work, including striking advertisements for companies such as Olivetti that reflected the modernist fascination with geometry, typography, and motion. Forced to emigrate by the rise of fascism, Schawinsky moved to the United States, where he taught at Black Mountain College and developed his concept of “Spectodrama,” an immersive form that merged light, sound, and movement. Later, in New York and Switzerland, he turned increasingly to painting, creating vibrant, abstract works that carried the energy and theatricality of his stage experiments onto the canvas. His career, spanning continents and disciplines, embodies the Bauhaus ideal of art as a synthesis of form, performance, and modern life.
