It was the same with the agricultural college teachers, who had hardly anything to do with the arts.
For these girls his work was their first experience with art. Years later, when my father had to stop teaching because of equilibrium problems, they still came to ask how he was.
Although he liked teaching at the agricultural college, it often happened he forgot about his classes because he was too occupied with his own work. In those days I started my education at a textile college. Textiles had, since his dye experiment, my father's interest. Very vaguely I remember his endeavor to make a weaving loom out of a wring machine |
