Modern art icons - Gunta Stölzl (part 1)

[cimorene]

Gunta Stölzl (1897-1983) was a German textile artist who ran the Bauhaus's weaving workshop for many years and helped shape its distinctive look. Her designs and leadership helped modernize the weaving workshop and make it the most commercially successful part of the Bauhaus, but she was only hired after agitation and campaigning by the students, even though she had been running the weaving workshop in all but name for years and had been responsible for it bringing in more money than any other department. She still was never given benefits or a permanent contract.

Some of these images are photos of rugs, tapestries, and hangings; others are sketches and plans for them.
