Jean Lurcat-Set of 12 Zodiac Lithographs
About the Item
Jean Lurçat was introduced to art by Victor Prouve, founder of L'École de Nancy. He went on to study fine art at L'École des beaux arts and engraving at Acadamie Colarossi under the tutelage of Bernard Naudin. Lurçat founded the art review, Les Feuilles de Mai, and became quite the painter. He was strongly influenced by Cubism, most notably Braque, and by Matisse. After being injured in The Great War he took fascination in his mother's sewing. He began painting designs for tapestries and then created them himself.
In 1939, Lurçat moved to Aubusson with the painters Toussan Dubreuil and Marcel Gromaire and established a center for making tapestries with the master, Francois Tabard. He went on to design over 1000 tapestries as well as theatrical sets and costumes, ceramics, book illustrations, lithographs and books on tapestries.
