The silver river
Aubusson tapestry woven in the Hamot workshops after a Cartoon by the artist.
With its bolduc signed by the artist.
1965.
It was in 1953 that Jean Picart le Doux offered Chaye the chance to become his assistant and encouraged him to create tapestry cartoons: he then produced numerous bucolic cartoons, as well as views of Normandy (Mont Saint Michel, Honfleur, regattas,…), of which he was a native.
A classic cartoon in the artist’s naturalist vein, a specialist in enclosures, hedgerows and other riverbanks, animated with animals.
