Bauhaus Inspired Image Around the House - Mac Finder Icon

I chose something a little different for my Bauhaus inspired photo. The apple icon finder was inspired by the first Bauhaus logo and Exposition poster from Weimer, Germany the home of Bauhaus. The Bauhaus logo seems to be inspired by picasso's "Two Characters".

The finder is noted as Bauhaus because of the thick lines through the square face. The lines intersecting two complimentary colours and the back to front, front to back face, adding a spin on the original poster face. Steve Jobs (RIP), former Apple Inc CEO, quoted Picasso Good artists copy, great artists steal”.  

Steve Jobs seems to be dedicating the use of the image to Picasso as a get out of jail free card for stealing his image!
