Artwork by Adolf Hölzel, a German artist from Olomouc in Northern Moravia. He was a professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart who had a worldwide influence. He was also a musician and an early pioneer of modern art
Adol Hölzel was the first professor to accept women students in his art class, which was unheard of at the time. His former students named themselves the Hölzel Circle. The new art style they created was banned during the Nazi regime. Some of Hölzel's students went on to become renowned Bauhaus teachers and immigrated to the U.S. Three of his students, Käthe Loewenthal, Klara Neuburger, and Maria Lemmé were murdered under Nazi rule
Ida Kerkovius, a painter and tapestry weaver, was one of Hölzel's students. She studied at the Bauhaus and is considered one of the most important female representatives of classical modernism in Germany
