Fumeron created his first cardboard sculptures (he would go on to make more than 500) in the 1940s, collaborating with the Pinton workshops, then receiving numerous commissions from the government, before participating in the decoration of the ocean liner "France." Initially figurative and influenced by Lurçat, he evolved towards abstraction, before returning to colorful and realistic figuration in the 1980s. Under the red sun, fish, insects, and lobsters frolic in a dreamlike composition typical of the artist: many of these motifs can be found, for example, in "Avant l'homme" (Before Man), woven by Les Gobelins (see Cat. Expo. "Le Mobilier National et les Manufactures Nationales des Gobelins et de Beauvais sous la IVe République" (The National Furniture and the National Manufactories of Les Gobelins and Beauvais under the Fourth Republic), Beauvais, 1997).

Although he sometimes devoted himself to large-scale wall decoration (designing sets for the Paris Opera, in particular), Brayer was relatively uninterested in tapestry: his works in this field are based on earlier paintings depicting typical Provençal subjects.Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop.
