The Reviser's
"Tapisserie d'Aubusson" woven by the Picaud workshop.
With its bolduc, n°1/8.
c. 1980.
Marc Petit met Jean Lurçat in 1954, stayed in Aubusson in 1955, exhibited for the first time at La Demeure in 1956, and became a member of the A.P.C.T. (Association des Peintres-Cartonniers de Tapisserie) in 1958. From these breathtaking beginnings, he produced hundreds of Cartoons in a very personal style, where stilt-walkers cross with tightrope-walkers in dreamlike landscapes.
An amusing Cartoon—an author's figured antithesis, and its reviser: it expresses itself through this curious pairing of fish and bird, in an extremely vivid chromatic range.
