Le clown (the clown)
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Hecquet workshop.
With signed label, n°1/1.
1974.
Best known for his compositions inspired by the theme of the Circus (his favourite theme, across all techniques: a sculpted acrobat figure adorns the public space in Aubusson), Cinquin, who moved to Aubusson and taught at the Ecole Nationale d’Art Décoratif there until it closed, was (he died in 2019) one of the last artists to have known personally the protagonists of the movement for the renaissance of modern tapestry.
