Roger Quillery

The Abstractionism of Quillery is formed in his youth by the famous Max Ingrand (stained glass master glassmaker of international renown), His work began around the Fauvist movement, it evolved around Cubism and eventually a brilliantly around the abstract movement. He also made tapestries to large sizes for larger homes of the era. His pictorial works are very rare because, fleeing the tumult of Paris, he made very few exhibitions.

But something very important, he refused to show his paintings (painting and gouaches) and kept them secretly in his workshop in Melun. His works are characterised by the juxtaposition of contrasting forms, simple, often borrowed from Cubism, serving a very strong symbolism. He lets out a more inventive and more productive.

This unique tapestry “Soiree Intime" was woven by renowned tapestry weaver Pierre Daquin (Paris, b.1936), who is regarded as the "rock star" for tapestry weavers as he has been experimenting different techniques and designs on tapestries. And currently, he is exhibiting some of his works at Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris until September 2020.
