Article on an exhibition of 20th-century Aubusson tapestries shown in New York and other US cities in 1950, featuring designs by Jean Lurçat, Marc Saint-Saens, Maurice Savin, Jean Picart Le Doux and others. It traces French tapestry from the medieval period to the return to loom-appropriate designs in the 1930s. It also describes how Aubusson tapestries are woven today on low-warp looms with a cartoon and mirror, compares Aubusson with Gobelin, and covers prices and government purchasing. Illustrated with photographs of tapestries and of the stages of production.
