The Awakening
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Legoueix workshop.
No. 4/6.
1969.
It was in 1953 that Jean Picart le Doux offered Chaye to become his assistant and encouraged him to create tapestry cartoons: he then produced many bucolic cartoons, but also views of Normandy (Mont Saint Michel, Honfleur, regattas,…), from where he originated.
Birds and trellis coexist here in a vein very close to Picart le Doux.
