A short article, compiled from notes by Jeanne Boucher, on the modern French artist Jean Lurçat and his so-called tapestries. It explains that the pieces are embroidered in gros point on canvas rather than woven, with the design drawn directly on the canvas and colors marked by numerals for the workers. It also covers his use of about two hundred wool colors, the part played by his wife and other workers, his inspiration from medieval tapestries, and parallels with seventeenth-century English embroidery. One plate reproduces 'L'Orage'.
