Morris held that the division between art and craft had been produced by industrial production, which separated design from execution. The Bauhaus was founded in Weimar by Gropius and answered the same objection by designing for the machine. Its curriculum began with a preliminary course in materials, form and colour taken by everyone.
The two movements share a diagnosis and differ on the cure. Both held that separating design from execution degrades the object and the maker; Morris concluded that the machine must be refused, and the Bauhaus that it must be designed for.
