  • Tauromachie (bullfighting)

       
    Aubusson tapestry woven by the Rivière des Borderies workshop. 1946.
        Perrot began his career as a cartoon designer at the end of the war, making almost 500 cartoons including numerous commissions from the state, most of which were woven at Aubusson. His style which is particularly rich and decorative is eminently recognisable : a crowd of butterflies or birds, most often, stands out against a background of vegetation, reminiscent of the millefleurs tapestries (which would also inspire Dom Robert).   This tapestry is atypical in Perrot’s production : an audaciously strident choice of colours, an unusually sober motif whose singular theme, including human figures, is treated almost choreographically ; we are close here to the vision of Saint-Saëns. Perhaps then this particular design was specially commissioned ?     Bibliography : Tapisseries, dessins, peintures, gravures de René Perrot, Dessein et Tolra, 1982
