Toffoli devoted himself extensively to tapestry with the Robert Four workshop, beginning in 1976, creating hundreds of designs. These tapestries reflect the post-Cubist transparencies characteristic of the painter, as well as his recurring themes. Indeed, Toffoli's tapestry work is inseparable from his painting: a painter and traveler, he illustrates in this tapestry design scenes observed during his stays in South America.
