Appel's figural works share Dubuffet's raw, childlike mark making and crude gestural line work, presenting distorted human forms with the same anti-refined spontaneity seen in Corps de dame.

Jorn's ink and paint works on paper feature similarly primitive figural distortions and expressive spontaneous mark making that align closely with Dubuffet's Art Brut approach to the human figure.

Twombly's ink on paper works employ crude gestural mark making and scratched linear figures that echo Dubuffet's raw monochromatic approach and deliberately unpolished treatment of the human form.
