Associated with the Bahaus school, Oskar was a sculptor, artist and designer who worked with the human form as his subject. This form he reduced to basic geometrical shapes that illustrated the human body as a system of proportions and functions which held true to a basic structure.
Well known for his Triadic Ballet, Schlemmer through costume and choreography drew relationship between the body and the space it occupies and also the body in relation to other bodies around it.The costumes when worn were sometimes transformed into living scuplture as the body structure and system of joints brought it alive.
