Lente approche (slow approach)
Aubusson tapestry woven in the Braquenié workshop.
With label.
Circa 1960.
From his long artistic career, which began in the 1950s (and which later focused mainly on sculpture), Julien produced around twenty tapestries from 1959 onwards, mainly woven by the Braquenié factory, including ‘Le commerce extérieur’ (Foreign Trade), a spectacular 12 m² public commission. His style often features female figures drawn in black, with sober colours and patterns, of which our cartoon is a prime example.
