Fumeron produced his first cartoons (he would go on to produce more than 500) from the 1940s onwards, 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 colourful and realistic figuration from the 1980s onwards.
Birds perched on a tree in front of an orange sun, on a khaki background: characteristic cartoon of the decorative and naturalistic vein of the artist (Cf. “Sienese sky” for example); only the scale of the cartoon distinguishes our model.
