Sails of the Orient
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Four workshop.
With its ribbon, No. EA.
Circa 1980.
Toffoli devoted himself extensively to tapestry with the Robert Four manufactory, starting in 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: a painter-traveler, he illustrates in our cartoon junks observed during stays in the Far East.
