A visionary sequence of ten large tapestries woven between 1957 and 1966, Le Chant du Monde [The Song of the World] attests to the highest spiritual values of contemporary man, in the face of the terror of nuclear apocalypse. Combining joy with anxiety and terror with hope, and celebrating the glory of man living in peace, Jean Lurçat’s enigmatic masterpiece-whose mysteries Gérard Denizeau attempts to unravel in this work-is still acutely pertinent today, half a century after the death of the great artist.
