Aubusson tapestry woven by the Picaud workshop.

1971.
Loewer created his first cartoon in 1953; his works were initially figurative before he turned (like Matégot) towards abstraction, exclusively geometric in Loewer's case. He composed more than 180 cartoons, most of which were woven by his friend Raymond Picaud.
Around 1971-1972, Loewer's style became more refined, with fewer squares, and more vivid and varied colors. As is often the case with Loewer, our weaving is unique.
