The golden fruits
Tapestry woven in Aubusson by the Tabard workshop.
With its label signed by the artist.
Circa 1965.
Having become a painter-cartoonist late in life, Henri Ilhe nevertheless designed, from 1964 onwards, a considerable woven work (more than 120 cartoons, all woven at Tabard) with an amiable style, made up of birds or butterflies frolicking in shrubs with knotted branches.
“The golden fruits” is, in this respect, characteristic of Ilhe's bucolic inspiration.
