Description:
Part of the exhibit, Chagall: Colour and Music (Exhibition, January 28 to June 11, 2017). Yvette Cauquil-Prince was a Belgian-born weaver and master craftswoman who created tapestries in direct collaboration with renowned 20th century artists and/or their estates. She is best known for her association with the artist Marc Chagall, which resulted in over 40 tapestries, but she also created tapestries of art works by many other artists. Chagall left instructions that she should continue to translate his works into tapestries after his death, and this activity was also supported by his widow and children.
