  • Bouquet d'octobre (october bouquet)

       
    Aubusson tapestry woven in the  Legoueix workshop. With label, n°5/6. 1974.
     
    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. The theme of the bouquet is omnipresent in Chaye’s work ; it allows him seasonal or chromatic associations of great decorative value.

  • Cadran solaire (Sundial)

       
    Aubusson tapestry woven in the Legoueix workshop. With signed label, n°6/6. 1969.
      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. 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.     Bibliography : Simon Chaye tapisseries contemporaines, Editions Librairie des musées, 2014, ill. p.29  
  • Source claire (clear spring)

     
     
    Aubusson tapestry woven in the  Bonjour workshop. With signed label, n°3/4. 1973.
       
    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.

  • Soleil rouge (Red sun)

       
    Aubusson tapestry woven in the  Legoueix workshop. With signed label, n°1/6. 1989.

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.
