Lur\u00e7at’s work is marked by cubism and a form of metaphysical aesthetics – somewhere between de Chirico and surrealism – which were to form the ferment of his mature language. He gradually abandoned painting for the art of tapestry, of which he became a leading exponent. After the Second World War, Jean Lur\u00e7at contributed to the revival and modernization of tapestry. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/galerie-institut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lurcat-jean-1959-capricorne-1.jpg” title_text=”lurcat-jean-1959-capricorne-1″ align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”30px||30px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1400px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_shop type=”product_category” posts_number=”1000″ include_categories=”314″ columns_number=”4″ icon_hover_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”Open Sans||||||||” title_font_size=”16px” price_font=”EB Garamond||||||||” price_text_color=”#515151″ price_font_size=”17px” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_shop][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1400px” custom_margin=”5%||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/galerie-institut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/RV-20188-2.jpg” title_text=”RV-20188-2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”100%” custom_padding=”30px||30px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Gaston Paris \/ Roger-Viollet<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_line_height=”2em” header_2_line_height=”2em” custom_padding=”30px||30px||true|false” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”23px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n A native of the Vosges region, Jean Lur\u00e7at studied under Victor Prouv\u00e9 at the \u00c9cole Nancy, founded in 1901 by \u00c9mile Gall\u00e9, who advocated the meeting of art and industry, art and decoration. He moved to Paris in 1912, at the height of the Cubist movement. After a brief spell at the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts, he entered the Acad\u00e9mie Colarossi. Trained as a painter, but strongly influenced by decorative practices, Lur\u00e7at soon tried his hand at tapestry. In 1917, his mother commissioned his first canvas-stitch tapestries , Filles vertes<\/em> and Soir\u00e9e dans Grenade<\/em>. After the war, he traveled to Switzerland, Germany and Italy. He exhibits in Zurich, Geneva, Berne and Paris at the Salon des Ind\u00e9pendants (2 tapestries and 4 canvases). Lur\u00e7at settles in Paris with his future wife Marthe Hennebert. She creates his two tapestries, P\u00eacheur<\/em> and Piscine<\/em>, in petit point.<\/p>\n Read the full biography.<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” z_index=”500″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1400px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||1px|||” header_2_text_align_tablet=”” header_2_text_align_phone=”center” header_2_text_align_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_menu menu_id=”264″ menu_style=”centered” active_link_color=”#000000″ dropdown_menu_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” dropdown_menu_line_color=”#FFFFFF” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” menu_font=”–et_global_body_font|300||on|||||” menu_text_color=”#000000″ menu_font_size=”16px” menu_letter_spacing=”2px” background_enable_color=”off” text_orientation_tablet=”” text_orientation_phone=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment_tablet=”” module_alignment_phone=”center” module_alignment_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_menu][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.7.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(216,216,216,0.11)” global_module=”8808″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_line_height=”1.9em” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”23px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nWorks of art by the artist Jean Lur\u00e7at<\/h2>\n
