Georges Rougier, who taught drawing at school in Aubusson, produced numerous cartoons for the Aubusson workshops and the Mobilier National, and worked alongside Marius Martin when he was head of ENAD. Along with Maingonnat and Faureau, Martin made him one of the main protagonists of a pictorial aesthetic resolutely turned towards tapestry, which was expressed in particular at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 1925 (Rougier also had his own stand there!).
