Michèle van Hout le Beau produced numerous cartoons in the 1960s-70s, working with several Aubusson workshops and obtaining public commissions. Alongside Soulages, Lagrange, Alechinsky and other artists, she participated in the decoration of Air France's transatlantic Boeing 707s. Her work often revolves around strident colors (very 70s), on which foliage, characters or stylized animals develop.
