Rambouillet
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop
With its label signed by the artist, No. 1/6.
Circa 1970.
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).
René Perrot is essentially an animalier artist, who usually stylizes. His decorative vein is counterbalanced here by the extremely realistic treatment of the deer, unusual in post-war tapestry. The title of the cartoon refers to the great French hunts that he abundantly illustrated, for example in "Sologne", deposited at the Musée de la Chasse de Gien by the Mobilier National.
