Thistles with white butterflies
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Caron workshop.
With its signed selvedge, no. EA.
Circa 1970.
Elie Grekoff, whose style was close to Lurçat's, produced over 300 tapestry cartoons until the early 1980s. Here we find the sharp, angular forms typical of post-war tapestry. Note the playful overhang of the frame/border.
