Jacques Dollé's “Sur la forêt, les noirs couperets de la nuit…” is a striking mid-century French tapestry design executed in gouache on paper circa 1960. The composition transforms the forest into a dynamic arrangement of interlocking geometric and organic forms, balancing abstraction with suggestions of foliage, branches and architectural structures. A sophisticated palette of turquoise, petrol blue, cobalt, pale blue and deep navy is punctuated by vivid red, burgundy, charcoal black and warm ivory. Broad, angular shapes overlap with curved motifs and finely hatched passages, creating a compelling interplay between solid colour, linear texture and visual rhythm. The contrasting light and dark areas suggest a nocturnal landscape, while the fragmented forms give the composition a distinctly modernist character. The work is a preparatory design for a tapestry, reflecting the close relationship between painting and textile art in post-war France. Its carefully organised colour fields and clearly defined contours make it particularly interesting to collectors of mid-century decorative art, French modernism and historic tapestry designs.

ABOUT THE ARTIST Jacques Dollé (1926–2016) was a French painter and lithographer whose work explored the landscapes of the Loire Valley and Sologne, alongside the expressive possibilities of simplified form and colour. He studied at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and developed a distinctive approach to landscape painting, constructing compositions through carefully balanced planes, stylised volumes and broad areas of colour. Dollé’s paintings often move between recognisable landscape and near-abstraction. His treatment of trees, waterways and rural environments emphasises the overall structure of a scene rather than meticulous detail. Earthy browns, ochres and other natural tones feature prominently in his broader artistic vocabulary. Alongside his easel painting, Dollé undertook decorative commissions, including tapestry designs for the Mobilier national, woven at Aubusson, as well as mural mosaics. His work therefore occupies an interesting position between postwar French painting and the applied arts, where the translation of painted compositions into textile became an important creative practice. He also illustrated works by the French writer Maurice Genevoix and participated in major Parisian art salons. His career was recognised through several distinctions, including the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. FRAME AND SHIPPING This artwork is sold framed and ready to hang.
