Summary/Abstract: The revival of textile arts has been a long process throughout which the searches, the questions and the answers were seen as small victories. Each step taken by the textile artists of the end of the 19th century has led to a change of vision and any struggle has led little by little to answers and solutions. Due to the artistic, social, political events, the start of the 20th century has led to change, revival and meditation on the glory age of tapestry art. The textile artists have evolved through the vision of the Bauhaus School, led by Jean Lurçat and Magdalena Abakanowicz, when everything gained an entirely different form due to the studies on textures, colours and three-dimensional shaping ability.
