"Bauhaus, Zehner Ring, International and Arbeitsrat für Kunst movements, who fled Europe when innovative design became impossible under the heel of the National Socialists."
Rather ironic really. Only two nations did not attend the 1925 Paris design and architecture exhibition; Germany and the US. The French deliberately made it very difficult for the former to attend, while the latter stiffly replied something along the lines of "there is no modern design in the United States."
Incidentally, the British did attend, though it was widely felt that the nature of their contriibution was to the same effect as what the Americans had said of their own absence.
