On the other side
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop.
With its label, No. 1/6.
Circa 1970.
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.
Economy of means always, with broad areas and a narrowed chromatic range: « on the other side ’ » is the duplicate of another tapestry formerly in our possession « Contrejour », same composition, same dimensions, but with different colors.
