Cambodian Dancers

Little known today, Maurice Ferréol's contribution in the 1960s to figurative tapestry is quite remarkable. He imposed himself as a kind of popular image maker, where the use of pure colors allows the drawing to be exacerbated, like childish, of the figures.
What do they have to do with Cambodia, these colorful, masked figures in extravagant costumes? They are merely a pretext for a profusion of colors and patterns, in Ferréol's very particular style.
