Claude IDOUX

Close to Bertholle and Le Normand, with whom he produced frescoes in the 1940s, Idoux provided his first Cartoon in 1946, and joined the A.P.C.T. in 1951. His tapestries, with their harmoniously rhythmic geometric and optical resonances (we are only at the beginning of the early 1950s!), echoed his work in the field of stained glass (for example at Notre-Dame de Royan).
If Idoux's path in tapestry was meteoric (some twenty Cartoons in a little over a decade), he nevertheless reached an official apogee with "Jardin Magique" and "Fée Mirabelle" woven for the lounge of the first-class passenger cabins of the liner "France" ("Jardin magique" is now preserved at the Écomusée de Saint-Nazaire).
