"Gunta Stlzl & Johannes Itten: Textile Universes" - "" ("Wagner Christoph")(Pevná vazba)

Two Bauhaus masters and their impressive contributions to the art of textile design. Gunta Stölzl (1897–1983) and the prominent Swiss artist Johannes Itten (1888–1967) were Bauhaus teachers who met in the experimental field during their time at the Bauhaus in Weimar. This volume takes a look at the artistic pairing and assembles in picturesque detail their impressive contributions to Swiss textile art. Few people are aware that Itten made an in-depth study of textile design. Accordingly, this book invites readers to rediscover him as a textile designer in conjunction with Stölzl, who has a place in art history as a “classic of textile art.” Both artists left Nazi Germany in the 1930s and explored innovations in ornamental and textile forms. Their work revived textile art in Switzerland with new ways of inventing forms and ornamentation and helped establish a network of modern Swiss textile art. Â
