81 2471 Oud J J P Gropius Walter 1883 1969 
= Answering a request by Oud to write a memorial article about Theo van Doesburg and i.a. complaining about the lack of work. "(...) für die aufgabe, die sie mir zudenken, einen artikel über doesburg zu schreiben, fühle ich mich nicht geeignet. (...) ich müsste erst eingehend wieder mit doesberg's [sic] werk befassen, um etwas zu schreiben, was hand und fuss hat. hierfür fehlt mir aber in den kommenden wochen die zeit, da am 9.mai die bauausstellung eröffnet wird und ich umfangreiche arbeiten hierfür auf mein risiko übernommen habe. (...) hier sieht es trostlos mit den bauaufgaben aus. ich habe nun seit 1½ jahren nichts zu tun und anderen geht es nicht besser (...)". SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LX.
81 2472 Oud J J P Johnson Philip 1906 2005 
= Very intimate and interesting letters, i.a. extensively on colleague architects, on the Bauhaus, on the archtecture in Frankfurt, Switzerland and Czechoslovakia, on the conflictual views on architecture, on the (pictures of) projects that Oud sent to Johnson for a publication/ exhibition, on a possible teaching position in America, on American architects and architecture, on buying a car abroad, on books Oud wishes to be sent to him etc.
"(...) Incidentally it is most interesting to see how the different architects with whom you are acquainted react to the mention of your name. Your dear friend Mendelsohn for instance, admitted to knowing you but was most unenthusiastic. (...). [Mies van der Rohe] speaks of you with such enthusiasm as one of his most honored acquaintances. And Mies is vey seldom enthusiastic about other architects. In fact you and Corbusier are the only ones that receive praise from him. (...) Especially Mies hates this Zweckmassigkeit carried to extreme as it was in the Bauhaus before he came. He says Zweckmässigkeit is more subjective than rein Ästhetik. He has closed the Bauhaus for a month because the students were so politically minded after the regime of Hannes Meyer that they thought they could continue to run the school along their programmatic lines. Mies says he has no interest whatsoever in politics or programs but only in beautiful buildings, so he closed the school. (...) The Czechs lack discipline and direction. They have taken over modern architecture as a national thing, and have really no idea of architecture at all not to mention modern (,,,)" [17/09/(1930)]. "(...) It is very interesting that you and Miës van der Rohe should be the European architects to have received the most acclaim in our Exhibion. (...) I invariably recommend you to any interested people as I am sure that Mies would not fit in with our American way of doing things. Le Corbusier is rather disliked as he is considered too outré, and people instinctively dislike houses on stilts. (...) The Americans, as you can see by the catalogue, show up very badly. Frank Lloyd Wright was included only from courtesy and in recognition of his past contributions; Raymond Hood because some day he may be attracted into the fold by his opportunism; the Bowman Brothers because they are primarily steel engineers and might some day ardize a half-way decent steel hous; Neutra and Howe & Lescaze because they are the only successful modern architects in America (...)" [16/04/1932]. "(...) Mies has been in town for a week and we have had long discussions about Berlage and you and modern architecture. He has put up two more buildings since the one you saw illustrated in Built in USA which are still more "negative" than that one, if negative is the right word. Most architects and critics think that his slogan of "beinahe nichts" has now gone so far that there is really nichts. I don't know. I very much enjoy the rationale of it all, the lack of indeterminate dimensions and shapes, the clean, brushed-hair effecf of the cornice, the symmetry of the facade. (...) The detailing of the steel with the brick is clean and pleasing. History will tell us and tell us no doubt very soon (...)" [27/04/1946].
81 2473 Oud J J P Kiesler Frederick J 1890 1965 
- Ruststain in upper left corner from paperclip.
= Intimate letter in which Kiesler i.a. extensively writes about his experiences in the US, to which he moved in 1926. "(...) You must understand that there has not been a chance of doing anything in contemporary architecture , because everything here is twenty five years behind our advanced groups in Europe. (...) Philip Johnson (...) told me (...) that he wanted to bring you over to this country, but you refused his offer. Very wise of you. If at all, one should come at the age of ten. It is not another continent, it is another planet. (...) The death of Van Doesburg, three years ago, was a very blow to me. Het was my only real friend in Europe, and the only one who understood my strivings. Unfortunately, he was very unhappy. In my opinion, it was because he couldn't find his way between painting, architecture and literature (...). After his death I hope that you, Esteeren [sic] and Arp and I would keep in touch with each other, and, including Mondrian naturally, would actually continue the friendship that, in my opinion, could be for all of us of great importance (...)." With an AUTOGRAPH POSTSCRIPT (pen and ink): "Do send me some pictures of your work, especially of furniture. I might be able to sell it for you to some manufacturer."
81 2474 Oud J J P Mendelsohn Erich 1887 1953 
= Interesting and moving letter on the hostiliy Mendelsohn met after his publication of Neues Haus - neue Welt (Berlin, Rudolf Mosse, 1932), a monograph on his newly built private villa. "(...) Die Publikation traf in den Höhepunkt der Wirtschaftskrise, d.h. sie erschien in dem Moment, als Deutschland wirklich merkte, das es den Krieg verloren hat und ein armes Volk geworden ist. Nichts leichter also, als aus der Not, dem Nichtbeschäftigtsein und der Verärgerung Hässliches, Taktloses und Unwahres über den Eigentümer zu schreiben. Angerührt durch ein Pamphlet Hegemanns melden mindere Geist ihre moralisierenden und antisemitischen Tiraden an. Alle diese Schimpfereien sprechen nicht über den architektonischen Wert des Hauses (...). Aber sehen Sie das Buch selbst an, vor allem aber sehen sie das Haus an. Ich bin gerade bei Ihnen überzeugt, dass Sie vom Haus, vom Eigentümer und vom Architekten keine schlechte Meinung bekommen werde (...)". SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXI.
