JEAN LURÇAT

1 July 1892, Bruyères - 6 January 1996, Saint-Paul de Vence, France

In 1912 he became the pupil of Victor Prouvé, the founder of the School of Nancy.

Then he went to Paris to continue his artist life soon interrupted with the war.

After the war he began working on tapestry.

The first tapestry was done in 1917 and his first exhibition was in Paris in 1922.

He travelled a great deal visiting Africa, Greece, Asia, Russia and China.

In 1939 he went to live at Aubusson during a few years until he moved to Saint-Céré where he worked on a great series of tapestries to be entitled La joie de vivre.

He is both painter and print-maker but during the last years of his artistic life he chiefly produced designs for tapestry.

In his work he blends a surrealist Expressionism with poetic and visionary elements.
