  • Courrier Sud (mail heading south)

     
    Aubusson tapestry, woven for Jean Laurent. With label, n°1/6. 1976.
    Better known for his geometrically inspired paintings incorporating on occasion mechanical elements, Gachon who came originally from Aubusson, did however design a certain number of tapestry cartoons. This particular example is somewhat atypical of his work.
  • Les gaîtés du soir (evening gaieties)

     
    Aubusson tapestry, woven in the Tabard workshop. With signed label, n°1. Circa 1968.
    Better known for his geometrically inspired paintings incorporating on occasion mechanical elements, Gachon designed several tapestry cartoons even from the early days of his career as his contacts with the Tabard workshop from the late 1960’s reveal.   This design shows the influence on the young man of lyrical abstraction, an artistic current which finds little expression generally in tapestry.
  • Epouvantail de lunes (Moon scarecrow)

    Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pérathon workshop Complete with certificate of origin signed by the artist, n°1. Circa 1970. Better known for his machine woven panels reminiscent of the work of Picart le Doux, Hurtu also made a few rather more inspired cartoons which were hand woven.  
  • Marché aux chameaux (camel market)

       
    Aubusson tapestry produced by Jean Laurent. 1980.
        In a similar vein to Toffoli, Raymond Poulet criss-crossed the world and his travels provided the themes that inspired his work ; the oriental inspiration has few precursors among the world of the peintre-cartonniers other than Bezombes.
     
  • Le village d'Eze (the village of Eze)

       
    Aubusson tapestry woven by the Jean Laurent workshop. N°3/6. Circa 1980.
        In a decorative post-cubist style redolent of Toffoli, Raymond Poulet here interprets one of the most spectacular locations on the côte
     
  • Paysage au flamboyant (landscape with flamboyant)

       
    Aubusson tapestry woven by the Jean Laurent workshop. N°6/6. Circa 1990.
        In a similar vein to Toffoli, Raymond Poulet criss-crossed the world and his travels provided the themes that inspired his work.
     
  • Soleil de corail (coral sun)

     
    Aubusson tapestry woven in the Pinton workshop. With signed label. Circa 1960.
       
    Fumeron designed his first cartoons (he would ultimately make over 500) in the 1940’s, in collaboration with the Pinton workshop, he was then commissioned on numerous occasions by the state before participating in the decoration of the ocean liner “France”. His work was figurative to begin with and influenced by Lurçat, then turned towards abstraction, before coming back to a style characterised by colourful figurative and realistic depictions from the 1980’s onwards.   The vertical fronds, through which mottled fish weave in and out, partially hide a flaming red sun : in this piece we recognise all the elements of Fumeron’s characteristically fantastical vision.  
     
  • Poissons de la lune (Moon fish)

          Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop. Complete with certificate of origin. Circa 1960.   Fumeron designed his first cartoons (he would ultimately make over 500) in the 1940’s, in collaboration with the Pinton workshop, he was then commissioned on numerous occasions by the state before participating in the decoration of the ocean liner “France”. His work was figurative to begin with and influenced by Lurçat, then turned towards abstraction, before coming back to a style characterised by colourful figurative and realistic depictions from the 1980’s onwards.   Beneath the red moon, fish, butterflies, a lobster all frolic in a dream-like composition typical of the artist : numerous examples of these motifs can be found for instance in  “Avant l’homme” Before man, woven by the Gobelins  (cf Exhibition Catalogue “le Mobilier National et les Manufactures Nationales des Gobelins et de Beauvais sous la IVe République”, Beauvais 1997)
  • La souche (the stump)

     
    Aubusson tapestry woven in the Pinton workshop. With label. Circa 1960.  
    Fumeron designed his first cartoons (he would ultimately make over 500) in the 1940’s, in collaboration with the Pinton workshop, he was then commissioned on numerous occasions by the state before participating in the decoration of the ocean liner “France”. His work was figurative to begin with and influenced by Lurçat, then turned towards abstraction, before coming back to a style characterised by colourful figurative and realistic depictions from the 1980’s onwards.   Strangely enough, despite the naturalistic title, the cartoon leans towards abstraction in a kind of refinement of Fumeron’s figurative cartoons where we can still recognise the circular yellow-sun characteristic of the artist.
  • Reflets (reflections)

       
    Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop. With label, n°6/6. Circa 1960.
