  • Soleil pour Maria Pia (Sun for Maria Pia)

    Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop. With label, n°1/3. Circa 1970.   Holger was a student at the Ecole Nationale d’Art Décoratif d’Aubusson and worked with Lurçat before the latter’s death in 1966. He designed numerous dream-like cartoons woven by the Aubusson workshop. Now settled in the United States, he remains a tireless advocate for, and witness to, modern tapestry design, organising exhibitions and lectures on the subject.
     
  • Crescendo

       
    Aubusson tapestry woven by the Legoueix workshop. With label, n°2/6. Circa 1980.
        Best known as an engraver, Davo reproduces in tapestry the result of his research in that medium, based on the oxydation of different metals placed on the copper plate. The resulting effects are here translated by the difference of relief obtained by different weaving techniques.  
    This tapestry is reproduced in the publication « Tapisserie d’Aubusson » produced by the Guéret Chamber of Commerce and Industry at the beginning of the 1980’s to illustrate the technical prowess of the Aubusson tapestry workshops.
     
  • Mexicaine aux arums (mexican with arum lilies)

      Aubusson tapestry woven by the Four workshop. With label, n°1/6. Circa 1990.
      Toffoli produced a large number of tapestries in collaboration with the Robert Four workshop from 1976 onwards, designing several hundred cartoons. In them we find post-cubist transparent effects which are characteristic of the artist, as indeed are the subjects treated. Thus Toffoli’s tapestries do not differ from his painting : travelling for inspiration, here he illustrates scenes observed during his travels in South America.
