Designer Gunta Stölzl German
Not on view
Producing goods of artistic quality and fine materials in mass quantity has been the goal of modern design since the Arts and Crafts movement at the turn of the twentieth century. This drawing by a member of the Bauhaus Weaving Workshop is an example of design stripped down to elemental basics in order to achieve this goal. Stölzl was perhaps the most important member of the workshop. Her elegant design takes full advantage of the linear nature of the loom’s warp and weft to build a linear pattern, layer by layer.
