Jean Lurçat is a French painter, ceramist and tapestry designer, born in Bruyères (Vosges) on July 1, 1892 and died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on January 6, 1966. He owes his notoriety mainly to his tapestry work, of which he profoundly renovated language in the 20th century. Between 1953 and 1965, Jean Lurçat produced tiles, dishes, pitchers and plates of exceptional quality with Gumersind Gumila. Lurçat will experience a freedom that is forbidden to him with tapestry. His pieces present as essential motifs his cosmic universe, moons, suns, imaginary beings. Lurçat will use ceramics as a real space for experimentation, allowing him to test new patterns and new colored combinations to then transpose them into his work as an upholsterer.
