Brother Quote by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

“I especially remember that on All Souls Day, when so many people wanted new monuments for the graves, our whole family pitched in. I did the lettering on the stones, my brother did the carving, and my sisters put the finishing touches on them, the gold leaf and all that.” quote by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
