Elie Grekoff, whose aesthetic is similar to that of Lurçat, designed over 300 cartons The motif of a sun radiating foliage is a classic with this artist ; it is possible that the title refers to a weaver at the Atelier de Tapisserie d’Angers (Angers Tapestry Workshop), which opened in the same year of 1968 and where Grekoff was the first painter-cartonnier to be produced.

Paysage bleu aux papillons (blue landscape with butterflies)

Tapestry woven by the ATA (Atelier de Tapisserie d'Angers). With signed label, n°1/4. Circa 1970.

Elie Grekoff, whose aesthetic is similar to that of Lurçat, designed over 300 cartons : here we find evidence of the artist’s evolution from the 1960’s onwards, as the human or animal figures disappear from his work. The recurrent theme is one where a heavenl_ bod_ (the sun, the moon) appears half-hidden behind foliage.

Aubusson tapestry woven by the Picaud workshop. With label, n°1/6. Circa 1970.

Elie Grekoff, whose aesthetic is similar to that of Lurçat, designed over 300 cartons.

“The little bird catcher” is typical of a vein characteristic of Grekoff where melancholic children consider each other within a dream-like landscape against a background of large flat areas of colour, redolent of an illustration for a folk tale.

Aubusson tapestry woven by the Caron workshop. With signed label, n°EA. Circa 1970.

Elie Grekoff, whose aesthetic is similar to that of Lurçat, designed over 300 cartons until the early 1980s. Here we find the sharp shapes typical of tapestry in the immediate post-war period. Note the motif which, amusingly enough, goes beyond the border-frame.
