        Aubusson tapestry woven by the Legoueix workshop. With signed label, n°1/6. Circa 1970.           It was in 1953 that Jean Picart le Doux proposed to Chaye to become his assistant and encouraged him to design tapestry cartoons : he would produce numerous bucolic cartoons, but also views of Normandy (Mont Saint Michel, Honfleur, regattas,…) from whence he came.   Here is a thoroughly characteristic cartoon of this artist who specialises in pastures, hedges and woodland scenes.

  • Source claire (clear spring)

     
    Aubusson tapestry woven in the  Bonjour workshop. With signed label, n°3/4. Circa 1960.

    A classic cartoon in the naturalistic vein of this particular artist, who made a speciality of enclosures, hedges and riverbanks with animals.  
  • Soleil rouge (Red sun)

     
    Aubusson tapestry woven in the  Legoueix workshop. With signed label, n°1/6. Circa 1980.

A design which brings together two leitmotivs characteristic of Simon Chaye, a bouquet and a flock of birds, which here detach themselves from a background formed by the red sun.
  • Bouquet d'octobre (october bouquet)

     
    Aubusson tapestry woven in the  Legoueix workshop. With label, n°5/6. Circa 1980.

The theme of the bouquet is omnipresent in Chaye’s work ; it allows him seasonal or chromatic associations of great decorative value.
  • La rivière d'argent (the silver river)

    Aubusson tapestry woven in the Hamot workshop to the artist’s cartoon. With certificate of origin signed by the artist. Circa 1960. It was in 1953 that Jean Picart le Doux proposed to Chaye to become his assistant and encouraged him to design tapestry cartoons : he would produce numerous bucolic cartoons, but also views of Normandy (Mont Saint Michel, Honfleur, regattas,…) whence he came. A classic cartoon in the naturalistic vein of this particular artist, who made a speciality of enclosures, hedges and riverbanks with animals.

In order to express Nature’s harmony, Chaye includes in this characteristic scene of a river bank animated by flowers and animals, a sign of human presence, static and discreet : a sundial.

    Aubusson tapestry woven in the Brivet workshop. With signed label, n°4/4. 1966.

Here birds and trelliswork cohabit in a style very reminiscent of Picart le Doux.
