Catalogue Note
Léger's work is particularly well suited to being transformed into tapestry, which highlights strong and contrasting compositions. Gisèle Brivet's atelier was chosen by Georges Bauquier to realize a select group of Léger's paintings in tapestry, under the auspices of the Léger Museum in Biot.
Georges Baquier was the President of the Museum Léger in Biot, and the author of the Léger catalogue raisonné.
