    Delphine BUREAU-CHIGOT

    La huppe rouge (the red hoopooe)

     
    Aubusson tapestry woven by the Picaud workshop. With signed label, n°3/6. Circa 1970.
     
    Originally from the Limousin region of France (and the daughter of the master glass-blower François Chigot), Delphine Bureau-Chigot devoted a large part of her creative energies (she was also a painter and a pastel artist) to tapestry design (something over a hundred) which were for the most part woven by the Picaud workshop, often evoking a dream-like world where animals (and notably birds) had an important place.

    Daniel DROUIN

    Melinjana

     
     
    Tapestry woven in the atelier de la Tuilière. With label. Circa 1970.
     
      After having established himself at the Gobelins, Daniel Drouin moved to Venasque. He designed numerous tapestries woven on a high-warp loom. The variety of the materials used, his propensity for abstraction and the fact that the artist wove his own designs conformed to certain preoccupations of the “Nouvelle Tapisserie” movement of the time, without however escaping from the 2 dimensional  nature of the artform.

    A rare example of this artist’s work for the loom : in it we  find his characteristically complicated formal arrangements.

    Claude LOEWER

    Galathée

          Aubusson tapestry woven by the Picaud workshop. Complete with certificate of origin signed by the artist, n° 1 of 4. 1970.     Loewer designed his first cartoon in 1953 ; his early works are first figurative before turning to abstraction (like Matégot) which is exclusively geometric in Loewer’s case. He designed over 180 cartoons, most of which were woven by his friend, Raymond Picaud. Only one example of this tapestry was woven according to the catalogue raisonné, « Galathée » is representative of the artist’s style around 1970 where the recurrent design motif is the square used in superpositions.

    Claude LOEWER

    Argos

        Aubusson tapestry woven by the Picaud workshop. Complete with signed certificate of origin, n° 1/4. 1971.     Loewer designed his first cartoon in 1953 ; his early works are first figurative before turning to abstraction (like Matégot) which is exclusively geometric in Loewer’s case. He designed over 180 cartoons, most of which were woven by his friend, Raymond Picaud.   Around 1971-1972, Loewer’s style became more refined, with fewer geometric squares and a brighter, more contrasted use of colour. As is often the case with Loewer, this is a one-off piece.

    Claude IDOUX

    Composition

     
    Aubusson tapestry woven in the Rivière des Borderies workshop. Circa 1950.
            A friend of both Bertholle and Le Normand, with whom he  produced several frescoes in the 1940’s, Idoux produced his first tapestry cartoon in 1946 and joined the A.P.C.T. in 1951. His tapestries, where geometrical and optical effects resonate in a grand harmony (and this is only the beginning of the 1950’s!) hark back to his work in stained glass (the church of Notre Dame in Royan for example). As a confirmation of his meteoric rise in the world of tapestry (producing around twenty cartoons in ten years), official recognition came with a commission for two tapestries “Jardin Magique” and “Fée Mirabelle” which were created for the 1st class saloon of the Atlantic ocean liner “France” (“Jardin Magique” is now kept at the eco-museum in St Nazaire).
