No matter what your interest in textiles, the fact that you were a woman entering into the Bauhaus school of art in the 20's meant you were shuffled off to the the textile area. I am only about half way through reading the book that Santa Elf MG got me for Christmas. It is taking me awhile to finish since I keep getting side tracked looking at the colour plates. I am frankly really impressed with the frankness of the Author setting the record straight that even though there was a claim of equality at Bauhaus, obviously all these years my reading have been wrong. The book is really giving me a new perspective on Eileen Gray's work and the obvious fight she must have encountered to study lacquer. Thank you so much MG, it is an awesome gift and I will cherish it always. :) Contents: beginnings, the weimar years, the gender issue, gunta stolzl, the questions of identity, the weaving workshops and johannes itten, georg muche and the 1923 bauhaus exhibition, the dessau years, dessau a new direction, from craft to industry, bauhaus fabrics, the purgem the legacy, the new frontier, the style
