  • Clos d'octobre (october enclosure)

     
     
    Aubusson tapestry woven in the Andraud workshop. With label, n°EA2. 1978.
           
    A student of Léon Detroy, Gaston Thiéry is one of the last representatives of the Crozant school of painting. Estalished in the Creuse region of France, he started working on tapestries in 1965 with the Andraud workshop for whom he designed cartoons inspired by the local flora, in a decorative style which can be situated somewhere between that of Dom Robert and Maingonnat, a world away from his landscape paintings which were strongly influenced by the impressionists.
  • La rivière d'argent (the silver river)

        Aubusson tapestry woven in the Hamot workshop to the artist’s cartoon. With certificate of origin signed by the artist. 1965.     It was in 1953 that Jean Picart le Doux proposed to Chaye to become his assistant and encouraged him to design tapestry cartoons : he would produce numerous bucolic cartoons, but also views of Normandy (Mont Saint Michel, Honfleur, regattas,…) whence he came. A classic cartoon in the naturalistic vein of this particular artist, who made a speciality of enclosures, hedges and riverbanks with animals.   Bibliography : Simon Chaye tapisseries contemporaines, Editions Librairie des musées, 2014, ill. p.32
