Note: Annemarie von Matt (née Gunz) was a Swiss painter, graphic artist and writer. In her early years, she mainly designed textile works, as in this example. She became part of a circle of artists in Lucerne in the 1920s and was a member of the Werkbund SWB and the Swiss Society of Women Painters, Sculptors and Decorators. In 1931, she received the Swiss Federal Applied Arts Grant and in 1935 she married the artist Hans von Matt (1899-1985) and moved to live with him in Stans.
