Reflections
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop.
With its label, No. 6/6.
Circa 1960.
Fumeron creates his first cartoons (he will produce more than 500) from the 1940s onwards, collaborating with the Pinton workshops, then receiving numerous commissions from the State, before participating in the decoration of the 'France' liner. Initially figurative and influenced by Lurçat, he evolves towards abstraction, before returning to a colourful and realistic figuration from the 1980s onwards.
Under the sun, red, fish, insects, lobster frolic in a typical oneiric composition of the artist: we find for example many of these motifs in "Before Man", woven by the Gobelins (cf. Cat. Expo."National Furniture and National Manufactures of Gobelins and Beauvais under the Fourth Republic", Beauvais, 1997)
