| book description |

One womanâ€™s influential contribution to modernism, achieved through a fascinatingÂ revival of tapestry Marie Cuttoli (1879â€“1973) lived in Algeria and Paris in the 1920s and collected the work of avant-garde artists such as Georges Braque, Joan MirÃ³, and Pablo Picasso. In the ensuing decades, she went on to revive the French tapestry tradition and to popularize it as a modernist medium. This catalogue traces Cuttoliâ€™s career, beginning with her work in fashion and interiors under her label Myrbor. She subsequently commissioned artists including Braque, Le Corbusier, Fernand LÃ©ger, Man Ray, MirÃ³, and Picasso to design cartoons to be woven at Aubusson, a center of tapestry production since the 17th century. Today these cartoonsâ€”paintings and collages by canonical artistsâ€”are often understood as autonomous works of art, but this catalogue uncovers their original purpose as textile designs. Beautifully illustrated with rarely exhibited works by giants of European modernism, Marie Cuttoli reveals the significant contributions of a shrewd and visionary woman as well as the role of the decorative arts in the development of the movement.
