Tapestries: Jean Lurçat and Leonora Carrington - Paul Ferguson - 04-17-2025

"Drawing from medieval iconography, astronomy, and alchemical symbology, Lurçat’s compositions were not simply decorative but metaphysical cartographies...If Lurçat’s wall offered a cosmological map, Leonora Carrington’s tapestries became wombs of the unconscious — a dreamlike weaving of myth, magic, and womanhood."
