Portrait de famille (family portrait)
Tapestry woven by the Atelier de Tapisserie d’Angers .
With signed label, n°4/6.
1972.
Elie Grekoff, whose aesthetic is similar to that of Lurçat, designed over 300 cartons until the early 1980s. Here we find the sharp shapes typical of tapestry in the immediate post-war period. The use of humour in the title transforms what is traditionally a conventional subject (particularly in Lurçat’s work).
