Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop.
With label.
Circa 1950.
On returning to France in the 1950’s after a lengthy period spent in Argentina, Berroeta produced quite a number of cartoons in a style which was first figurative (animals, human figures,…) then turned to abstraction, as in his paintings.
If he adopts here the motif of fish, very common at the time in contemporary tapestry (cf. Lurçat, Picart le Doux), Berroeta can be considered to have a certain legitimacy in exploiting this subject as it is one he has used on several occasions, in “Mer du Sud” (the south sea) for example.
