Envol (Flight)
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop.
With label.
1963.
If he was a painter (Grand Prix de Rome for painting in 1939), a curator (at the Musée du Havre and the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais in Paris, he designed the layout of these two buildings), a fresco painter, an illustrator, Arnould also devoted himself to tapestry, with the Pinton workshops, from 1961.
His woven oeuvre, reduced to a few Cartoons, bears witness to his adherence at the time to lyrical abstraction, as reflected in the titles “Mouvement libre” or our “Envol”. He uses in particular certain elements of graphic language specific to Tapestry: dotted lines, stripes, hatching, checkerboards… .
