After studying sculpture, Jacqueline de La Baume-Dürrbach completed in 1949 an apprenticeship in tapestry. An excellent illustrator, she was able to interpret without copying the works of the great Cubist masters. Picasso thus noticed her and subsequently commissioned her to make three tapestries based on his painting ‘Guernica’. The first is on display in the Security Council Chamber at the UN in New York. The Unterlinden Museum in Colmar decided to acquire the second masterpiece (photo) in 1979. The third is in Japan. All three tapestries were made in eleven shades of wool.
