The Proofreader
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Picaud workshop.
With its , no. 1/8.
Circa 1980.
Marc Petit meets Jean Lurçat in 1954, stays in Aubusson in 1955, exhibits for the first time at La Demeure in 1956, becomes a member of the A.P.C.T. (Association of Painters-Cartoonists of Tapestry) in 1958. From these brilliant beginnings, he produces hundreds of cartoons, in a very personal style, where waders cross tightrope walkers in oneiric landscapes.
Amusing cartoon, a kind of figurative antithesis of the author and his reviser: it is expressed by this curious association of fish and bird, in an extremely vivid chromatic range.
