The enclosure
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Brivet workshop.
With its selvedge signed by the artist, no. 4/4.
1966.
It was in 1953 that Jean Picart le Doux offered Chaye the position of assistant and encouraged him to create tapestry cartoons: he then produced many bucolic cartoons, but also views of Normandy (Mont Saint Michel, Honfleur, regattas,…), where he was from.
Classic cartoon in the naturalist vein of the artist, a specialist in enclosures, hedges and other undergrowth.
