The following year, back in Munich, a course in lithography with Ernst Neumann sparked her interest in printmaking.

Until the outbreak of World War I, Cunz lived in Munich and only returned to Switzerland for an annual visit.

[1] Her style is characterized by the play of subtly graded contrasting colors that overlap to create a luminous surface.

By 1905, Cunz was showing in the annual Glass Palace Exhibition in Munich,[1] and some of her earliest woodcuts were published in April 1905 in the journal Deutsche Kunst und Dekoration alongside work by Wassily Kandinsky and other Munich artists.

Cunz is known to have influenced the work of contemporaries like Carl Thiemann,[1] and she also taught printmakers, including Rosa Paul.
