Bullfighting
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Rivière des Borderies workshop.
1946.
Perrot began his work as a cartoonist at the end of the war, producing nearly 500 cartoons, with many commissions from the State, most of which were woven in Aubusson. His highly decorative and shimmering style is very characteristic: a profusion of butterflies or birds, most often, stands out against a vegetal background, in the taste of mille-fleurs tapestries (which Dom Robert also drew inspiration from).
Atypical tapestry in Perrot's work: bold chromatic range of stridency, unusually refined treatment, singular theme, like choreographed, and involving the human figure; one is close to Saint-Saëns. But perhaps this is a matter of a commission?
