Fine- 4to-over 9¾"-12" tall. 208 pages, with 220 illustrations, 120 in color. "When talented female students arrived to study at the Bauhaus, they soon discovered that the founder of the school, Walter Gropius, was not strictly adhering to his original declaration of equality between men and women. In the hierarchy of art and design, it was textiles that were deemed to be "women's work." In this model study, superby illustrated with rare of little seen photos of the works themselves the author recreates the atmosphere of creative excitment at the Bauhaus. This book unearths the missing chapter in the story of the most important institution in the history of modern design." FINE-SOFTCOVER, light wear to covers.
