| Literature | This work is illustrated in - Nicole Tamburini, Achille Laugé - "Le point, la ligne, la lumière" This work was originally commissioned for the Gailhadet estate by Mr. Castel the local elected member of the Assemblée National of France. This partially unrealized decoration was to include works of fields and flowers. The motif of the bouquet with dahlias would recur several times in the work of Achille Laugé. Its first appearance is found in an oil on canvas from 1916 preserved at the Museum of Art and History of Narbonne. The same year, the artist delivered to the Manufacture des Gobelins his models for a tapestry project commissioned by the State on the theme "The Seasons". We find there in Laugé's model and then in the tapestry executed by the Manufacture des Gobelins this motif of dahlias in a vase. Dahlias, with the multiplicity of their petals, allow Laugé to fully express his talent for color modulations and the Divisionist touch. |
