Pastoral Idyl
Aubusson tapestry.
Circa 1930.
Georges Rougier, who taught drawing at the Aubusson college, provided numerous cartoons for the Aubusson workshops or the Mobilier National, and worked with Marius Martin when he was directing the ENAD. Martin will make, with Maingonnat and Faureau, one of the main protagonists of a pictorial aesthetic resolutely turned towards tapestry, which will be expressed in particular at the International Exposition of Decorative Arts in Paris in 1925 (Rougier will also have his own personal stand there!).
