The private atelier there, in collaboration with artists and the Manufacture des Gobelins in Paris, wove many of the most significant 20th-century tapestries. The Maison PINTON workshop was another key player, collaborating with major modern artists like Fernand Léger, Marc Chagall, Alexander Calder and Sonia Delaunay to produce modern tapestries. These makers collectively restored tapestry to its status as a monumental and decorative art form, bringing modern art movements like Cubism, Surrealism, and abstract expressionism into the traditional medium.
