Composition
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Andraud workshop.
Circa 1960.
Claude Bleynie discovered tapestry with Jean Picart le Doux in 1952. He then exhibited at the La Demeure gallery (from 1958 onwards) and participated in major exhibitions dedicated to mural art. His woven work comprises more than 300 cartoons, primarily produced by the Andraud workshops. In a more abstract vein (sometimes also found in his tapestry work), Bleynie notably designed carpet cartoons for the luxury suite “Ile de France” on the ocean liner “France”.
Also a theatre decorator, Bleynie designed many cards inspired by Dance, and animated with masked and winged figures, in a fairy-tale spirit.
