De l’autre côté (On the other side)
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton wokshop.
With label, n°1/6.
Circa 1970.
Marc Petit met Jean Lurçat in 1954, went to Aubusson in 1955, exhibited his work for the first time at La Demeure in 1956, became a member of the A.P.C.T. (Association des Peintres-Cartonniers de Tapisserie) in 1958. After this lightning start to his career, he produced hundreds of cartoons, in a style all his own, where long-legged waders and acrobats wend in and out of dreamscapes.
Once again, a minimalist approach, with large blocks of flat colour and a limited colour palette: ‘De l’autre côté’ is a duplicate of another tapestry we once owned, ‘Contrejour’ – the same dimensions, the same composition, but different colours.
