This vintage Aubusson tapestry, “Signal” by Maurice André, was woven at Atelier Picaud in France circa 1960–1969. Its bold geometric visual juxtaposition, woven signature, and documented provenance distinguish it as an important example of postwar French tapestry. On the Design: Based on a card by Maurice André, Signal exemplifies exploration of geometric abstraction, translating the language of painting into the medium of tapestry through a visual juxtaposition of intersecting planes, angular forms, and carefully balanced color. A dominant red structure rises through the field, intersected by deep blue and black forms that create a powerful sense of movement and architectural tension. Set against a rich plum ground, these overlapping elements evoke the visual language of postwar abstraction, where line, color, and geometry become the principal vehicles of expression. Woven at Atelier Picaud in Aubusson, the tapestry reflects the renewed vitality of French tapestry during the mid-twentieth century, when artists increasingly collaborated with the region's celebrated workshops to realize contemporary designs in textile form. The precise handling of color, the subtle modulation of wool, and the remarkable clarity of the visual juxtaposition demonstrate the technical sophistication for which Aubusson became internationally renowned. Both the studio mark and Maurice André's woven signature further reinforce the work's significance as an authentic artist-designed tapestry, uniting bold artistic expression with the enduring traditions of French textile craftsmanship. Condition: This vintage Aubusson tapestry further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is intended for wall hanging purposes.
