Fumeron created his first cartoons (he would go on to create over 500) in the 1940s, collaborating with the Pinton workshops, then receiving numerous commissions from the State, before participating in the decoration of the 'France' ocean liner. Initially figurative and influenced by Lurçat, he evolved towards abstraction, before returning to a colorful and realistic figuration from the 1980s onwards.
The touch of exoticism returns episodically with Fumeron in the 60s: we think of his cartoons « Osaka », « Samurai » or « the monsoon ». No literal evocation, however: the circle (Sun?) partially obstructed remains a leitmotif, whatever the title.
