French Tapestry Today
French Tapestry Today
Article · 14 pages
Madeleine Jarry surveys French tapestry of the late 1960s, tracing the revival begun by Mme Cuttoli in 1923 and Jean Lurçat. She discusses the continuing influence of Lurçat, Le Corbusier and Henri Georges Adam, technical experiments at the Gobelins, Beauvais and Aubusson, and specialist tapestry painters such as Prassinos, Matégot and Tourlière. She also covers tapestries woven after paintings by Chagall, Mathieu, Ubac, Vieira da Silva and others, and textile hangings that compete with tapestry. Nine black-and-white plates show Gobelins and Beauvais tapestries with dimensions and dates.
