The stump
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop.
With its label.
Circa 1960.
Fumeron produced his first cartoons (he would go on to produce more than 500) from the 1940s onwards, collaborating with the Pinton workshops, then receiving numerous commissions from the State, before participating in the decoration of the 'France' liner. Initially figurative and influenced by Lurçat, he evolved towards abstraction, before returning to a colourful and realistic figuration from the 1980s onwards.
Strangely, if the title is naturalistic, the cartoon leans towards abstraction, in a kind of purification of Fumeron's figurative cartoons where one still recognizes the characteristic yellow-sun circle of the artist.
