Bauhaus Manifesto: There is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman.

There is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman. The artist is an exalted craftsman. Proficiency in his craft is essential to every artist. Let us create a new guild of craftsmen, without the class distinctions which raise an arrogant barrier between craftsman and artist. Together let us conceive and create the new building of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith.
