    Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop. With label, n°6/6. Circa 1960.
       
    Fumeron designed his first cartoons (he would ultimately make over 500) in the 1940’s, in collaboration with the Pinton workshop, he was then commissioned on numerous occasions by the state before participating in the decoration of the ocean liner “France”. His work was figurative to begin with and influenced by Lurçat, then turned towards abstraction, before coming back to a style characterised by colourful figurative and realistic depictions from the 1980’s onwards.     Beneath the red sun, fish, insects , a lobster all frolic in a dream-like composition typical of the artist : numerous examples of these motifs can be found for instance in  “Avant l’homme” Before man, woven by the Gobelins  (cf Exhibition Catalogue “le Mobilier National et les Manufactures Nationales des Gobelins et de Beauvais sous la IVe République”, Beauvais 1997)
  • Chevaux en Camargue ( Horses in Camargue)

       
    Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop. N°1/6. Circa 1980.
        Although Brayer designed on occasion large-scale mural pieces (notably sets for the Paris Opera), he did not devote much of his time to tapestry  : the works he produced in this particular domain are in fact reproductions of pre-existing paintings featuring typically provençal subjects.
