Aubusson tapestry woven by the Four workshop.
With its bolduc, n°EA2.
c. 1980.
Toffoli devoted himself extensively to tapestry with the Robert Four manufacture from 1976 onward, producing hundreds of cartoons. One finds there the post-Cubist transparencies characteristic of the painter, as well as his subjects. Indeed, Toffoli's tapestry does not set itself apart from his painting: the theme of motherhood, whether exotic or not, remains a Toffoli leitmotif, whatever the technique.
The tapestry is reproduced in the binder “Tapisserie d’Aubusson” published by the Chambre de commerce et d’Industrie de Guéret in the early 1980s to illustrate the know-how of the Aubusson workshops.
