Woven Rug by Gunta Stölzl, 1922 Collection of the Museum of Modern Art. 1927 Gunta Stölzl was chair of the weaving department at Germany's Bauhaus art school. Anni Albers (lower right) recalled the early days at the art school : "There was no real teacher in textiles. We had no formal classes. Now people say to me: 'You learned it all at the Bauhaus'! We did not learn a thing in the beginning. I learned from Gunta, who was a great teacher. We sat down and tried to do it. Sometimes we sat together and tried to solve problems of construction." Gunta Stölzl Sketch for a rug design 1926 Gunta Stölzl in her apartment, 1927 Within the Bauhaus emphasis on primary shapes Stölzl and her students worked out variations on the limited theme. Gunta Stölzl Sketch for a rug design Women students were confined to the weaving department at the school, which was not modern in its view of womens' roles. They also served as models for Bauhaus photographers exploring the square, rectangle, triangle and circle.
