This volume takes a look at the artistic pairing and assembles in picturesque detail their impressive contributions to Swiss textile art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Few people are aware that Itten made an in-depth study of textile design. Accordingly, this book invites readers to rediscover him as a textile designer in conjunction with Stölzl, who has a place in art history as a \"classic of textile art.\" Both artists left Nazi Germany in the 1930s and explored innovations in ornamental and textile forms. Their work revived textile art in Switzerland with new ways of inventing forms and ornamentation and helped establish a network of modern Swiss textile art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHelen Hirsch \u003c\/b\u003eis director and head curator at the Kunstmuseum Thun in Switzerland. \u003cb\u003eChristoph Wagner\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer and head of the Art History Department at the University of Regensburg in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 11.18 x 8.43 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 26, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42729640165439,"sku":"9783777442983","price":58.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/3890fecd3920a2a89f46b6e3808a6e4c.webp?v=1765122948","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/gunta-stolzl-johannes-itten-textile-universes-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
