Toffoli devoted himself extensively to tapestry with the Robert Four manufacture, from 1976 onward, producing hundreds of cartoons. There, one finds 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: as a traveling painter, he illustrates in our cartoon a junk he observed during stays in the Far East.
