Jean Lurçat “Le coq” Tapestry
Jean Lurçat’s “Le coq” (The rooster) tapestry is a captivating piece from the Modern Masters Tapestries collection. Masterfully executed, it embodies the unique aesthetic and artistic vision of Jean Lurçat.
The rooster is a symbol of strength, courage and vigilance. These qualities were important to Lurçat, who was a committed artist and defender of human rights. He saw the rooster as a symbol of resistance and the fight for justice.
The rooster is also a symbol of life and rebirth. Lurçat was a convinced optimist, and he saw the rooster as a symbol of hope for the future.
Finally, the rooster is a colorful and flamboyant animal. Lurçat was an artist passionate about color and form, and he admired the brilliant plumage of the rooster.
Lurçat depicted roosters in many of his works, notably in the masterpieces “El Mansour” (1955-1956) and “The Rooster and the Bird” (1961). -
