Review by Sally Reckert, April 2022
Marie Cuttoli’s (1879-1973) role as a textile entrepreneur bridged the divide between fine and decorative arts in France during the early – mid-twentieth century. Cindy Kang’s book was published to coincide with the Barnes Foundation exhibition on Cuttoli’s work in 2020. As exhibition curator and writer, Kang traces Cuttoli’s career from commissioning textile designs by contemporary artists, through her role in helping to revive the manufacture of French tapestry at Aubusson, to her championing of ‘portable murals’ in her gallery in Paris as well as to an international audience through exhibitions, particularly in Philadelphia, USA.
