Life and death under the Third Reich
Schlemmer worked on nine murals for a room in Essen's Folkwang Museum from 1928 to 1930. Schlemmer began his career at the Akademie in Breslau, where he created his most celebrated work, the 'Bauhaustreppe', (1932; Museum of Modern Art, New York). He was compelled to leave the Breslau Academy when it was closed down in the aftermath of the Wall Street Crash, and he took up a professorship at Berlin's Vereinigte Staatsschulen for Fine and Applied Art), which he continued to teach until 1933, when the Nazis forced him to resign due to intimidation. The Schlemmers then migrated to Eichberg near the Swiss border and then to Sehringen, where they were shown at the Degenerate Art Exhibition in Munich in 1937. In a state of 'inner emigration,' the last ten years of his life.' In his obituary of Schlemmer, Max Bill wrote, "as if a curtain of silence" had descended on him at this time.
Schlemmer, alongside Willi Baumeister and Georg Muche, were among World War II students at the Institut for Malstoffe in Wuppertal, run by the philanthropist Kurt Herbert. Schlemmer was given the opportunity to paint without fear of persecution. "Fensterbilder" ("Window Pictures") was painted by his eighteen small, mystical paintings, which were seen through the window of his house and watching neighbors engage in their domestic duties. These were Schlemmer's last attempts before he died of a heart attack in the hospital in Baden-Baden in 1943.
