Open to the public since 2025, the house and studio of Jean Lurçat (1892-1966) is a listed historic monument— an impressive example of Modernist architecture filled with pieces made by the artist.
It was in 1925 that Lurçat moved to this part of the 14th arrondissement, a quieter and more affordable neighbourhood than the heart of Montparnasse, the famed hub of artist activity in the early 20th century.
The building was designed by the artist’s brother, architect André Lurçat, and was the first of eight houses he built on the mews that would become a community of creatives (sculptor Channa Orloff’s studio is just opposite).
Today you can visit the house not only to admire the architecture and the decor — complete with original and custom-made furniture — but also the works of Jean Lurçat across several media, notably tapestry, ceramics and painting.
Visits are by guided tour only, every Friday and Saturday, to be booked in advance on www.maisonatelierlurcat.fr

Inspiring. Wishing I had known about it when I was in Paris. I remember seeing his Tapestries in an exhibition along side Picasso’s works. Did he produce a Rooster print?

I would say that rug has no relation to a bear skin, but is a close reference to a traditional Tibetan tiger rug.

OMG. Thank you. I adore his work and went to the museum in the Loire. I must see this. I have missed two chances to buy one of his tapestries on auction.
