Weininger, Andor, 1899-1986
Andor Weininger (1899-1986) was a Hungarian architect, artist, designer, draftsman, and painter.
Born in Hungary in 1899, Weininger studied art and design at the Bauhaus during the early 1920s. In 1923 he co-founded the Bauhaus Jazz Band. Andor Weininger produced a body of work related to the stage, attaining his greatest success with his Mechanical Stage-Review, a kind of moving abstract painting, and with his design for a spherical theatre. After graduating in 1925, Weininger stayed on at Walter Gropius’ request, to act as a kind of public relations official for the school. After leaving the Bauhaus in 1928, he and his German fiancée Eva Fernbach supported themselves through Modernist furniture design. The Weiningers married in 1931, and escaped Nazi Germany for the Netherlands in 1938, where Andor produced Surrealist and Biomorphic Modernist works. The Weiningers emigrated to Canada with their daughter Cornelia in 1951.
