Marc SAINT-SAËNS
One must have seen his tapestry to understand how wonderful of an artist Marc Saint-Saëns was. This authentic decorator, in the noblest meaning of the word, quickly chose to join forces with the famous Jean Lurçat to revive the tapestry tradition in the Aubusson workshop-but the tradition was reinvented, modernized, giving way to essentially poetic and dreamlike themes. Marc Saint-Saëns’s art is here, in his desire for beauty and new. The Odalisque presented here sums up his dream: right tradition and free modernity!
