Despite considering herself first and foremost a sculptor, Hedva Ser also produced some cartoons, woven at the Four workshop in Aubusson, which evoke atmospheric scenes (there are also “Esterel”, “Sinaï”, “Océan”...), where clouds, reflections, waves and dunes... are represented by the effective use of different threads and stitches.

Composition with birds
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop. With signed label. 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. Birds perched on a tree in front of an orange sun, against a khaki background: a typical cartoon in the artist's decorative and naturalist vein (see ‘Sienna sky’, for example); the only thing that sets our model apart is its size.
