Happy Birthday to Anni Albers who was born on this day in 1899. Anni Albers (1899-1994) was a textile artist, designer, printmaker, and educator known for her pioneering graphic wall hangings and weavings.

Beginning in 1970, Anni Albers filled her graph-paper notebook regularly until 1980. This publication is a facsimile of her only known notebook which shows her working process.

The notebook follows Albers's deliberations and progression as a draftsman in their original form. It reveals the way she went about making complex patterns, exploring them piece by piece, line by line, in a visually dramatic and mysteriously beautiful series of geometric arrangements.

The tactile factor a textile brings to a wall is warm and inviting. #annialbers was one of the first people of the modern weaving movement who decided to take tapestries from being underneath people’s feet and on furniture and display them on a wall like a piece of fine art.

Women of Bauhaus: Weaving class on the Bauhaus stairs, 1927

The Bauhaus (1919 - 1933) was seen as a progressive academic institution, as it declared equality between the sexes and accepted both male and female students into its programs. During a time when women were denied admittance to formal art academies, the Bauhaus provided them with an unprecedented level of opportunity for both education and artistic development, though generally only in weaving and other fields considered at the time to be appropriate for women.

Controversies

Although the school was praised for its more progressive approach to gender equality, some criticize the schools reputation, claiming that many of its female members went unnoticed both during and after the school's short existence. Others claim that although the school fronted progressive ideas of gender equality, its administration was rooted in ideals of the past and in misogyny. In the case of Gertrud Arndt, she aspired to study architecture, but was instead redirected into the more domestic or "feminine" subject of weaving, after the administration claimed that there were no available architecture classes for her. Similarly, the school also attempted to redirect Benita Koch-Otte into more domestic subjects, but she persevered with her original studies and became an influential figure in both textile design and art education. However, during her studies, she was often encouraged to give up some of her classes in order to spend more time gardening.Via Wikipedia

Happy Birthday to Anni Albers (1899 – 1994) who was born on this day!

In 1968, Anni Albers gave an interview to Sevim Fesci for the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art. When asked about how she got started with weaving, Albers responded that she originally thought the weaving workshop at the Bauhaus was “rather sissy.” But that workshop was the only thing that was open to her (as a woman), so she joined. In the beginning, she still was not very interested working with, “just these threads. And there was a very inefficient lady, old lady, sort of the needlework kind of type, who taught it.” But as she got into it, Albers found it intriguing, working within the possibilities of the medium and breaking through it.

“ … I have this very what you call today "square" idea that art is something that makes you breathe with a different kind of happiness.

And I find art is something that gives you something that you need for your life. Just as religion is something that you need even if you constantly find it denied today.”

Albers was born Annelise Elsa Frieda Fleischmann in Germany in 1899. She married artist Josef Albers in Berlin in 1925. In 1933, under pressure from the Nazis, they fled to North Carolina and began teaching at the experimental Black Mountain College. Albers worked primarily in textiles and later experimented with printmaking, blurring the lines between traditional craft and art.
