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.
Birds perched on a tree in front of an orange sun, on a khaki background: a cartoon characteristic of the decorative and naturalistic vein of the artist (Cf. "Siena sky" for example); only the size of the cartoon distinguishes our model.
