Gunta Stölzl Departs the Bauhaus

Gunta Stölzl, pioneering weaver and textile artist, left the Bauhaus due to conflicts with its male-dominated administration, her support for left-wing politics and rising anti-semitism in Germany. Her departure was a significant loss for the school but Stölzl would continue to be a leading figure in the development of modernist textile art and design. She would become the first woman to be exhibited for textiles at MoMA.
