The Gray Cloth
''The Gray Cloth with Ten Percent White: A Ladies' Novel'' (in German, ''Das graue Tuch und zehn Prozent Weiß: Ein Damenroman'') is an avant-garde novel by the fantasist and visionary writer Paul Scheerbart, first published in 1914. The book expresses its author's commitment to the use of glass in modern architecture, which had a significant impact on the concepts of German Expressionism.〔Mark Gelernter, ''Sources of Architectural Form: A Critical History of Western Design Theory'', Manchester, Manchester University Press, 1995; p. 230.〕〔Robert Hughes, ''The Shock of the New'', New York, Knopf, 1981; p. 177.〕
==Glass architecture==
Scheerbart had advocated a transformative new architecture of glass from his first novel, ''Das Paradies'', through many subsequent works. In 1913 he attempted to organize a "Society for Glass Architecture," an effort that brought him into contact with the Expressionist Bruno Taut. In the following year Scheerbart published not one but two books on the subject: his non-fictional ''Glass Architecture'' made the case for its subject in a more rational and pragmatic basis, while ''The Gray Cloth'' provided a far more imaginative and lavish presentation of the same matter.〔Rosemarie Haag Bletter, "Payl Scheerbart's Architectural Fantasies," ''Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians'', Vol. 34 No. 2 (May 1975), pp. 83-97.〕
