Abstract

The subject of this article is a comparative analysis of functions of the painting works of Bauhaus representatives with the themes of architecture (with particular focus on the profiles of Farkas Molnár, Aleksander Schawinski and Ludwik Mies van der Rohe) with the role of the paintings presented at the exhibition on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the JEMS Architekci studio. The purpose of this article is to show the continuity and the need to use images as a carrier of an architectural idea and to emphasize the topicality of the works of representatives of the 20th century avant-garde. The contemporary role of image in architecture goes beyond the general way of using images in the Bauhaus. The image of architecture was mainly oriented towards the architecture to be created and in the case of the above-mentioned exhibition, it may be an attempt at self-reflection and assessment of the direction of one’s own aspirations.
