Aubusson tapestry woven by the Four workshop.
With its ribbon, No. EA2.
Circa 1980.
Toffoli devoted himself extensively to tapestry with the Robert Four manufacture from 1976, producing hundreds of cartoons. We find the post-cubist transparencies characteristic of the painter, as well as his subjects. Indeed, Toffoli's tapestry does not differ from his painting: the theme of maternity, exotic or not, remains a Toffolian leitmotif, regardless of the technique.
The tapestry is reproduced in the 'Aubusson Tapestry' folder published by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Guéret in the early 80s to illustrate the know-how of the Aubusson workshops.
