内容提要：

1920年代，玛丽·库托利（1879-1973）生活在阿尔及利亚和巴黎，她收藏了乔治·布拉克、琼·米罗和巴勃罗·毕加索等前卫艺术家的作品。在接下来的几十年里，她一直为复兴法国的挂毯艺术传统而努力，并将其作为现代主义艺术媒介加以推广。这本图录追溯了库托利的职业生涯，从她在时尚和室内设计领域的工作开始，到创立她自己的个人品牌Myrbor。她随后委托布拉克、勒·柯布西耶、费尔南德·莱热、曼·雷、米罗、毕加索等艺术家设计挂毯图案，并在挂毯生产中心奥布松批量生产。今天，这些图案成为艺术家的经典绘画或拼贴画，也被认为是独立的艺术作品，但是本书却揭示了它们作为纺织品设计的原有目的。玛丽·库托利通过这些欧洲现代主义巨匠的作品，完美地诠释了一个精明而富有远见的女人的重大贡献。  

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.
