LES COLOMBES
Set against a background animated by stylized wisteria, a scattering of doves unfolds into a light and poetic composition. Though simplified, the forms retain a strong expressiveness. This design is the work of Jacques Drésa, a decorator and designer close to André Groult, and a contributor to La Gazette du Bon Ton.
