A pioneer in textile design  Stlzl was head of the weaving workshop  and during her tenure there transformed it into a flourishing  productive enterprise. This volume illustrates more than 75 key works by Stlzl  accompanied by excerpts drawn from her journals  letters and articles  some of which are published here for the first time. Accompanied by explanatory comments and a foreword by Monika Stadler  Stlzls daughter  these personal writings offer an intimate view of the artists life and work between 1917 and 1931  from her student years in Munich to her service as a Red Cross nurse during the war  and continuing through her years at the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau until she founded her own hand-weaving business in Zurich. The chronological organization of the texts  paired with related works  gives rise to many surprising discoveries and provides a vivid portrait of Gunta Stlzl as both an individual and an artist. Gunta Stlzl (1897-1983) studied at the Kunstgewerbe-schule in Munich from 1914 to 1916  then at the Bauhaus Weimar from 1919 to 1925.
