(1895) tapestry
349cm x 250cm
Overlooking the components of the installation is the Moreau tapestry La Sirène et Le Poète from 1895, drawing directly on the Mobilier National's collection to present the Manufacture des Gobelins translation of Moreau's unique artistry into the medium of textiles. The presence of this tapestry reinforces the numerous connections among images, materials, craftsmanship, and histories in Threadbare.
