Jean Dubuffet — Le Tétrascopique
Jean Dubuffet

Le Tétrascopique

Created in Dubuffet's characteristically raw and irreverent style, *Le Tétrascopique* exemplifies his lifelong commitment to Art Brut, rejecting refined aesthetics in favor of primal, instinctive mark-making. The work's fragmented, multi-panel composition suggests a fractured or multiplied vision, consistent with the title's reference to a fourfold or expanded way of seeing. Signed with initials, dated, and numbered 26/45 in black ink on the reverse of one panel, this work belongs to a limited edition that also included five hors commerce examples designated in Roman numerals.

Medium
Signed with initials, dated and numbered 26/45 in black ink on the reverse of one panel (there were also 5 hors commerce examples in Roman numerals).
