Les vieilles marches (the ancient steps)
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Four workshop.
With label, n°EA2/2.
Circa 1980.
Toffoli produced a large number of tapestries in collaboration with the Robert Four workshop from 1976 onwards, designing several hundred cartoons. In them we find post-cubist transparent effects which are characteristic of the artist, as indeed are the subjects treated. But while Toffoli is a painter-traveller, he also sometimes takes an interest in less exotic subjects : old stones in a French village, for example.
