Adolf Hölzel was a professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, Germany. He was the first professor to accept women students in his art class, which was unheard of at the time

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

Former students of Hölzel gathered around their teacher as colleagues and named themselves the Hölzel Circle. The new art style they created was banned during the Nazi regime
