Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack was one of the first students of the revolutionary and influential Bauhaus art school in Weimar. Born 1893 in Frankfurt, he spent most of his life not in Germany but in Australia — in Victoria, to be exact. Hirschfeld-Mack has also left behind a rich heritage of works of art and influence on the local art scene. 80-year-old Resi Schwarzbauer has written a book about him: Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack: More than a Bauhaus Artist. It tells us about his life, his art and his influence on some of Germany's greatest artists.
