Gunta Stölzl (1897–1983), the Queen of Bauhaus!
"Gunta Stölzl‘s work is wonderful evidence for requiring, in the best of cases, only small group of people who see things differently to guide subsequent generations and have a lasting influence on the status quo of style and spirit. Bauhaus was successful in shaping a new world beyond its limited temporal existence. Only because a group of people came together and had a different perspective on things than hitherto had been portrayed."
"She was influenced by the Bauhaus myth and its manifesto, within which she could live out what she was interested in the most: not the transmission of the subject as such, but its reinterpretation and repositioning in the grand scheme."
i can't take the credit for the words — i am only quoting the text behind the link (Text: Anna Niestroj / Translation: Sean Black). but i also like how Gunta Stölzl (and the spirit of Bauhaus) is described here. and i am charmed by Gunta Stölzl's textile patterns.

I completely agree with what you say. Thanks for bringing it here.
I'm with you. People who were ahead of their times, as Gunta Stölzl did.
