A student of Léon Detroy, Gaston Thiéry was one of the last representatives of the Crozant painting school. He therefore established himself in Creuse and approached tapestry in 1965 with the Andraud workshop, entrusting it with cartoons inspired by local flora, in a decorative vein midway between the work of Dom Robert and that of Maingonnat—far removed from his landscape paintings influenced by Impressionism.
