Jean Dubuffet — Le surintendant (The Superintendent)
Jean Dubuffet

Le surintendant (The Superintendent)

Created by Jean Dubuffet, *Le surintendant (The Superintendent)* is a vibrant screenprint in colors on Bristol paper that exemplifies the artist's signature Art Brut aesthetic. Bold, black outlines fragment the figure into a mosaic of irregular, interlocking shapes filled with vivid hues, evoking a sense of raw, untamed energy. The work reflects Dubuffet's lifelong rejection of traditional fine art conventions, drawing instead from the visual language of outsider art and spontaneous, childlike expression.
