About the Item
Coup de Grace, brushed wool, 7’9" x 4’4", 1997.
This contemporary abstract woven tapestry was done by renowned Canadian textile artist, Mariette Rousseau-Vermette (1926 - 2006). Born in Trois-Pistoles, Québec, Mariette Rousseau married painter/ceramicist Claude Vermette in 1952. She received her training at both the École des beaux-arts du Québec (1944-1948) and at the Oakland College of Arts and Crafts, in California (1948-1949). She and Vermette travelled extensively to Europe and Asia, allowing Rousseau-Vermette to broaden and deepen her understanding of different tapestry techniques. She was honored several times in Québec and abroad, winning numerous awards throughout her career. She has exhibited in Canada, the United States, in several European countries — including at several Lausanne Biennials of International Tapestry — and in Japan. Her tapestries are held in many major public and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, the Chicago Art Institute, the Museum of Modern Art, in Kyoto, the National Gallery of Canada, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec and the Contemporary Art Museum of Montréal. She was a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and an Officer of the Order of Canada.
Artist statement: "Working with noble materials, be they old or new, permits an evolution to unite tradition with high technology. Scientific discoveries permit me to explore new fields of research. Nature has been a tremendous influence on me since childhood, a great source of enthusiasm and energy. My goal is to create a harmony between light, color, the richness of the materials and the environments where my works are situated. What a privilege to have chosen a form of expression that is so passionate and without limits."
