The artists included Stanley Spencer,Jankel Alder, Graham Sutherland and Louis le Brocquy who later continued his work in this medium with the Tabard workshop at Aubusson in France. His first tapestry continued his preoccupation with the travelling people: "Travellers 1948" was exhibited originally by the arts council in London in 1950. It depicts a woman and a young child with an old faun-like figure of a man : the delineation of the figures strongly influenced by Picasso but the weaving of the tapestry with its overall surface of leaves and shadow patterns is much indebted to Jean Lurcat, so that an intriguing cross fertilisation of Picasso/Lurcat here takes place in the forms of an Irish travelling family. Although critically acclaimed in 1950 it was not until the exhibition at the Dawson Gallery in 1966 that this and the other tapestries from the Eden series were eagerly bought by the top collectors of the day. Versions of this original early tapestry "Travellers" which illustrates the artists original vision,colour wise,have rarely come on the market in the last 20/30 years. We acknowledge the research of the late Dorothy Walker whose writings formed the basis of this catalogue entry.

JACQUES MAJORELLE (1886-1962) LES DEUX AMIES THE TWO FRIENDS Technique mixte sur papier avec rehauts d’or, signée et située "Marrakech" en bas à droite. À vue : 54 x 67 cm (21 x 26 in.) Majorelle peindra des nus, quelques fois une femme seule ou bien deux comme dans notre tableau. Ces femmes sont allongées, et semblent accablées par la touffeur de l’été. Elles semblent immobiles et leur corps est illuminé de poudre d’or, évoquant le sable doré du désert. Cette œuvre est très intéressante car outre le somptueux traitement des personnages, Majorelle les a posées sur une tapisserie d’un bleu électrique, qui fut vite qualifié de "bleu Majorelle". Cette œuvre acquise voilà plus de quarante ans au Maroc a longtemps orné les murs d’un grand collectionneur. Majorelle will paint nude women, sometimes she will be alone and sometimes with a companion like in our painting. These women are lying and seem crushed by the summer heat. They don’t want to move and their sweaty body is lit by golden powder, reminding the desert sand. This painting is very interesting for not only are the figures beautifully depicted, but they are lying on a very special blue tapestry, soon to be known as "Majorelle’s blue". This work was bought over forty years ago, and has decorated the home of a major collector for many years.
