Reflections
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop.
With its bolduc, n°6/6.
Circa 1960.
Fumeron created his first cartoons (he would go on to create more than 500) in the 1940s, collaborating with the Pinton workshops, then receiving numerous commissions from the French government, before participating in the decoration of the ocean liner “France”. Initially figurative, and influenced by Lurçat, he moved towards abstraction, before returning to a colorful and realistic figurative style from the 1980s onwards.
Under the red sun, fish, insects, and lobster frolic in a dreamlike composition typical of the artist: many of these motifs can be found, for example, in "Before Man", woven by the Gobelins (see Exhibition Cat. "The National Furniture and the National Manufactories of Gobelins and Beauvais under the Fourth Republic", Beauvais, 1997)
