An inescapable name in 20th century art, Pablo Picasso was a revolutionary artist who maintained an experimentalist and innovative spirit throughout his more than 92 years of life. Although best known as one of the great masters of painting, being one of the co-inventors of Cubism, he was also a sculptor, engraver, ceramist, writer and set designer, with a prolific artistic body of over 50,000 catalogued works.
"Nature morte à la bouteille, à la sole et à l'aiguière" is a still life painting created in 1946. It is characterized by Picasso's distinctive style, which often involves abstract and cubist elements. In this piece, the artist may have explored themes related to everyday objects and the beauty found in ordinary things. The use of bold lines and unique shapes is typical of Picasso's work during this period. Overall, "Nature morte à la bouteille, à la sole et à l'aiguière" is a significant example of Picasso's experimentation with still life subjects and his innovative approach to art.
For four generations, the family firm founded in 1878 by Jules Pansu has carried on the centuries-old tradition of Gobelins and Aubusson tapestries. Pioneers in the use of Joseph Marie Jacquard's mechanical loom, they demonstrate enviable continuity, reinventing and adapting over time.
Since 2012, the Jules Pansu workshops have been considered "Living Heritage" by the French State, a mark of recognition that distinguishes French companies with craft know-how and industrial excellence.
All Jules Pansu cushions are entirely woven and manufactured in the Les Tissages de la Lys workshops located in Northern France. Made in jacquard weave, they are rich in relief and texture.
