A Fabulous Elie Grekoff 1960s Needlepoint Artwork

A very large vintage French tapestry by Franco Russian Artist Elie Grekoff done in the mid-1960s. Colours are divine. Such a fun piece! 

Such a piece to make an impact in a room.

In his early life Grekoff was an artist who worked in more traditional media but after the war he become noted for his work in tapestry: almost all Grekoff tapestries were woven in Aubusson workshops.

‘Until 1962, Grekoff compositions consisted in large measure of human themes: somewhat melancholic young men, girls and children, in arcadian settings. In 1962, Grekoff left Paris for the quiet of the Anjou countryside. People no longer appeared in works; replaced by nature – trees, insects, birds and skies’ Wikipedia.
