Born on this day….Gunta Stölzl 5 March 1897-1983 in Munich was a German textile artist who played a fundamental role in the development of the Bauhaus school’s weaving workshop. As the Bauhaus’s only female master she created enormous change within the weaving department as it transitioned from individual pictorial works to modern industrial designs. She would assist Marcel Breuer in upholstering many of his furniture pieces. She was inspired by Johannes Itten, who also taught at Bauhaus, and Itten’s works exploring the use and composition of color. #cardula #bauhaus #bauhauswomen #GuntaStölzl https://www.instagram.com/p/CpZ0u9kjUQE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Women of Bauhaus: Weaving class on the Bauhaus stairs, 1927

The Bauhaus (1919 - 1933) was seen as a progressive academic institution, as it declared equality between the sexes and accepted both male and female students into its programs. During a time when women were denied admittance to formal art academies, the Bauhaus provided them with an unprecedented level of opportunity for both education and artistic development, though generally only in weaving and other fields considered at the time to be appropriate for women.

Controversies

Although the school was praised for its more progressive approach to gender equality, some criticize the schools reputation, claiming that many of its female members went unnoticed both during and after the school's short existence. Others claim that although the school fronted progressive ideas of gender equality, its administration was rooted in ideals of the past and in misogyny. In the case of Gertrud Arndt, she aspired to study architecture, but was instead redirected into the more domestic or "feminine" subject of weaving, after the administration claimed that there were no available architecture classes for her. Similarly, the school also attempted to redirect Benita Koch-Otte into more domestic subjects, but she persevered with her original studies and became an influential figure in both textile design and art education. However, during her studies, she was often encouraged to give up some of her classes in order to spend more time gardening.Via Wikipedia

Design for a Wall Hanging by Gunta Stölzl | Undated, 38x27.5 cm | Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau

Excerpt from "Die Entwicklung der Bauhaus Weberei" - The Development of the Bauhaus Weaving Workshop - article written by Gunta Stölzl in the journal bauhaus, July 1931:

"The transfer to Dessau brought the weaving workshop new and healthier conditions. We were able to acquire the most varied loom systems (shaft machine, Jacquard loom, carpet-knotting frame) and in addition, our own dyeing facilities. From now on, there begins a clear and final distinction between two areas of education that initially were fused with each other: The 'development of functional textiles' for use in interiors (prototypes for industry) and 'speculative experimentation' with materials, form and color in tapestries and carpets."
