The reviewer
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Picaud workshop.
With its selvedge, no. 1/8.
Circa 1980.
Marc Petit met Jean Lurçat in 1954, stayed in Aubusson in 1955, exhibited for the first time at La Demeure in 1956, became a member of the APCT (Association of Tapestry Cartoon Painters) in 1958. From these dazzling beginnings, he produced hundreds of cartoons, in a very personal style, where stilt walkers cross paths with tightrope walkers in dreamlike landscapes.
Amusing card, a kind of figurative antithesis of the author and his reviser: it is expressed by this curious association of the fish and the bird, in an extremely vivid chromatic range.
