The Odyssey
A tapestry from Aubusson woven in the Pinton workshops.
With its bolduc Signed, Numbered 1/6. n°1/6
c. 1965.
Fumeron produced his first Cartoons (he would make more than 500) from the 1940s, working with the Pinton workshops, and then receiving numerous commissions from the State, before taking part in the decoration of the "France" ocean liner. Initially figurative and influenced by Lurçat, he moved toward abstraction, before returning to a colorful, realistic figuration from the 1980s.
Fumeron, dans le courant des années 60, évolue donc, comme certains de ses pairs (Matégot, Wogensky,…) vers l’abstraction. Ses compositions sont alors parfois inspirées de grand textes (Cf. “ Hamlet”) traduits dans un kaleidoscope de couleurs très personnelles.
