Moulin (mill)
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Glaudin-Brivet workshop.
With label, n°3/6.
Circa 1970.
It was in 1953 that Jean Picart le Doux proposed to Chaye to become his assistant and encouraged him to design tapestry cartoons : he would produce numerous bucolic cartoons, but also views of Normandy (Mont Saint Michel, Honfleur, regattas,…) whence he came.
‘Source’, “Fraîcheur” and “Nénuphars” are cartoons that testify to the artist’s interest in the aquatic element. This closeness to Nature is tempered here by the mechanical use made of it by Man.
