一位女性通过令人着迷的挂毯的复兴实现的对现代主义的重要贡献

20世纪20年代，玛丽•卡托利（Marie Cuttoli，1879–1973年）先后在阿尔及利亚和巴黎生活，收集了乔治•布拉克，琼•米罗和巴勃罗•毕加索等前卫艺术家的作品。在随后的几十年中，她继续复兴了法国的挂毯传统，并将其作为一种现代主义媒介进行推广。这本目录追溯了卡托利的职业生涯，始于她为自己的品牌Myrbor创作的时尚和室内装饰作品。随后，她委托Braque，Le Corbusier，FernandLéger，Man Ray，Miró和Picasso等艺术家设计了在Aubusson编织的草图，自17世纪以来，Aubusson一直是挂毯生产的中心。如今，虽然这些草图——权威画家创作的绘画和拼贴画——通常被理解为自主的艺术品，但此目录揭示了其作为纺织品设计的初衷。《玛丽•库托利》介绍了一个精明而有远见的女人的重要贡献以及装饰艺术在现代主义运动的发展中的作用，书中的精美插图来自欧洲现代主义大师创作的很少展出的作品。

One woman’s influential contribution to modernism, achieved through a fascinating revival of tapestry

Marie Cuttoli (1879–1973) lived in Algeria and Paris in the 1920s and collected the work of avant-

garde artists such as Georges Braque, Joan Miró, 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 Cuttoli’s career, beginning with her work in fashion and interiors under her label Myrbor. She subsequently commissioned artists including Braque, Le Corbusier, Fernand Léger, Man Ray, Miró, and Picasso to design cartoons to be woven at Aubusson, a center of tapestry production since the 17th century. Today these cartoons—paintings and collages by canonical artists—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.
