Composition
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Rivière des Borderies workshop.
Circa 1950.
Close to Bertholle and Le Normand, with whom he created frescoes in the 40s, Idoux produced his first cartoon in 1946, and joined the A.P.C.T. in 1951. His tapestries, with harmoniously rhythmic geometric and optical resonances (we are only at the beginning of the 50s !) are an echo of his achievements in the field of stained glass (at Notre-Dame de Royan for example).
If Idoux's journey in tapestry is meteoric (around twenty cartoons in a decade), it will nevertheless reach an official peak with “Magical Garden” and “Fée Mirabelle” woven for the first-class lounge of the liner “France” (“Magical Garden” is now preserved at the Saint-Nazaire Ecomuseum).
