Aubusson tapestry woven by the Caron workshop.
Circa 1970.

 

 

 

Although he was one of the first Lebanese abstract artists, Assem Stétié (the brother of the better-known poet and critic Saleh Stétié, who was himself close to many artists) is unfortunately a somewhat forgotten painter today. His personal work is both lyrical and masterful, made up of signs in pure colours, a form of personal calligraphy, particularly in the 1970s, from which we can date our tapestry.
