A Different Perspective on the Gobelins Tapestries |

Some friends contacted me to ask if I had further images of the tapestries mentioned in yesterday's post or close ups of the works on display at Bucharest's MNAC.

Yet some of the tapestries looked interesting even when admired from the back, so rather than posting mere close ups of these works, I'm posting here (second image) a detail of the back of Yves Oppenheim's tapestry.

If you look from a distance at this work you will manage to distinguish figures such as flowers, leaves, mushrooms and fish. From the back, the tapestry has got an intoxicatingly and dynamically intense energy and I hope you will find its mix of colours and threads as inspiring as I do.
