Still Life
Gobelins tapestry woven by G. Bonnevialle.nWith his bolduc.n1930-1931 (after a 1921 painting).
Artist with a classical training and official career, Migonney spent many years in Algeria, which he would make his preferred subject. He would also provide some cartoons to the National School of Art décoratif in Aubusson (alongside Véra, Valtat,…), whose stand at the International Exhibition of Arts décoratifs in 1925 included a screen adorned with one of his tapestries.\n\nOur tapestry is a detail, woven posthumously, of a spectacular 1921 work (137 x 205 cm) by Migonney kept at the Musée de Brou in Bourg-en-Bresse, “Still Life with Fruit”. It shows all the details and nuances of which the Gobelins loom-makers are capable in recreating a painting—effects against which Lurçat would soon contend.
