Pastoral Concert
Tapestry of Aubusson woven in the Picaud workshop, for the Verrière gallery in Lyon.
With its bolduc Signed by the artist; n°1/4.
Circa 1970.
"It will now be understood that after having founded a painting on my love of tapestry, it was for me relatively easy—and indeed quite tempting—to create a tapestry that would be faithful to my painting," the artist said in the 1970 exhibition catalogue of the Verrière gallery. It was only in 1961 that he began to execute Cartoons (more than fifty), both for low-warp tapestry (in Aubusson, but also at the Mobilier National, with sometimes Pierre Baudouin's collaboration), and also for the technique of petit point. In these Cartoons one finds the artist's highly audacious palette, made up of primary colors—or, here, based on a very raw pink—with a narrative scattered between the main concert and the hunting scene, set back.
