AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Created in 1984 by Loïc Dubigeon, "Les Folies du Ciel" celebrates the conquest of the air. The drawing illustrates the gentle madness of the first aviators who risked their lives in incredible machines, but also that of the subscribers who financed these exploits. While November 21, 1783 marks history with the ascent of the balloon designed by Étienne and Joseph Montgolfier over Paris, none of the balloons depicted here achieved that glory. Some of these fantastic devices, shaped like fish or a flying ship, remained at the project or prototype stage, whose traces are preserved today in historical archives (notably at the Army Museum at Les Invalides).
Loïc Dubigeon is a French illustrator, painter and stylist born on April 27, 1934 in Nantes and died on January 27, 2001 in Derchigny-Graincourt or Hennebont. Born into a family of shipowners, Loïc Dubigeon was destined to become an architect. But having embraced other forms of artistic expression, and thanks to the Prix de la Biennale de Paris which he received in 1963, his notoriety would center on his paintings, the scarves he designed for Hermès, and his illustrations. He resided in the commune of Derchigny, at the Wargemont estate which was the residence of Pierre-Auguste Renoir at the end of the 19th century.
This scarf is playful, colorful and full of hope.
Without the box, and no label.
