Matinée récréative exemplifies Adnan's pioneering work in textile art, translating her distinctive visual language into woven wool during the early years of her practice. The title suggests leisure and creative play, reflected in the composition's balance between structured color fields and dynamic abstract forms. This limited edition tapestry of three plus one artist's proof reveals the artist's commitment to exploring how traditional craft materials could express modernist and expressionist sensibilities. The work occupies a significant place in the artist's oeuvre as she moved fluidly between painting, printmaking, and textile production.
