Few people are aware that the prominent Swiss Bauhaus master Johannes Itten made an in-depth study of textile design. Accordingly, this publication invites readers to rediscover him as a textile designer in conjunction with the Bauhaus teacher Gunta Stölzl, who has a place in art history as a "classic of textile art". Both artists left Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Not only did they revive textile art in Switzerland with new ways of inventing forms and ornamentation; they also established a network of modern Swiss textile art.
