Arlequin (Harlequin)

 

 

Tapestry woven by the Bourlier workshop.
With signed label, n°1/4.
1971.

A versatile artist, Bourlier first turned his hand to tapestry in the 1970s, taking part in various events (including the Menton Biennale): his subjects – Machinist-Constructivist works (‘the machine man’) and abstract pieces (‘construction’) – hark back to the heyday of the Bauhaus.
