Color:Picasso 16 Jules Pansu uses Jacquard weave technique. A form of textile art dating as far back in written history as Homer's Iliad, tapestry making is a long-standing tradition in the heritage and culture of France. Since the Middle Ages, weavers in Paris, northern France and the Val-de-Loire regions have created intricate and enduring tapestries that can still be admired in the national museums and castles of France. In 1660, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, minister of finance for Louis XIV, founded Les Gobelins Tapestry Manufactory followed by the Manufacture Royale de Beauvais. The tapestries created at the Gobelins Manufactory, as well as those from the workshops of Aubusson and Felletin, were the finest produced in Europe throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. Tapestries were often based upon the work of famed painters of the day, including Le Brun, Jean-Baptiste Oudry, Charles Coypel and Francois Boucher.  Today, in the workshops of Jules Pansu in Halluin, the company continues to specialize in the Jacquard weave, named after the craftsman Joseph-Marie Jacquard who invented the process and loom that allowed for much greater versatility and artistry in weaving. Françoise Gilot (born November 26, 1921) is a French painter and bestselling author. She is also known as the lover and artistic muse of Pablo Picasso from 1944 to 1953, and the mother of his children, Claude Picasso and Paloma Picasso. Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter and sculptor, known to be one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century. His style is characterized by his free spirit, eccentric style, and complete disregard for criticism to his work. His modern approach to painting was considered to be far ahead of his time. Picasso was arguably the first artist to have such a profound impact on the art world.
