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.

 

The setting sun, the orange color scheme, the composition on the border between figuration and abstraction are characteristic of the artist's cartoons from this period.
