Reflections
Aubusson tapestry woven by Pinton's workshop.
With its ribbon, No. 6/6.
Circa 1960.
Fumeron produced his first cartoons (he would produce more than 500) from the 1940s, 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 evolved towards abstraction, before returning to a colorful and realistic figuration from the 1980s.
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)
