| book description |

Gunta Stölzl (1897–1983) and the Swiss artist Johannes Itten (1888–1967) were Bauhaus teachers who met in the experimental field at important stages of their biographies from their time at the Bauhaus in Weimar until well into the 1960s. This volume assembles in picturesque detail their impressive contributions to the art of textile design. Few people are aware that the prominent Swiss Bauhaus master Johannes Itten made an in-depth study of textile design. Accordingly, this publication invites readers to rediscover him as a textile designer in conjunction with the Bauhaus teacher Gunta Stölzl, who has a place in art history as a “classic of textile art”. Both artists left Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Not only did they revive textile art in Switzerland with new ways of inventing forms and ornamentation; they also established a network of modern Swiss textile art.
