Van Doesburg visited the Bauhaus in the early 1920's and attracted then many students who flocked to the private courses Van Doesburg gave there; according to Michel Seuphor who visited the Bauhaus in 1928 and still felt the influence of Theo van Doesburg under the students and the rejection by the teacher like Gropius.
