Tapestry by Emile Gilioli, signed, number 1 of 6
Made in France, circa 1960
Emile Gilioli Gilioli, born in 1911 in Paris and died in 1977 in Paris, is a French sculptor. It is one of the representatives of abstract sculpture. Extreme rigor, geometric simplification are recurrent in his work. Two characteristics are often used: the circle in balance and the broken line, which is found in this tapestry. We recognize the nature of the drawings he was doing before working the bronze, “the pure geometry of the volume ‘which characterizes the work of the sculptor.
