La Forêt
1954
Created in 1954, Jean Dubuffet's *La Forêt* is a dynamic collage and Indian ink work on paper that reflects his signature Art Brut aesthetic. Torn and assembled paper fragments are layered with bold, gestural ink marks to evoke the dense, tangled energy of a forest. The composition eschews traditional representation in favor of a raw, primal visual language that blurs the boundary between figuration and abstraction.
