Jean Dubuffet

Maison forestière; and Sophisticated Lady, from Matière et Mémoire

Jean Dubuffet's *Maison forestière* and *Sophisticated Lady*, from the series *Matière et Mémoire*, are striking lithographs published by the renowned Mourlot press in Paris. Each work is signed and numbered in pencil by the artist, with *Maison forestière* designated B/i from a set of nine artist's proofs and *Sophisticated Lady* designated F/g from a set of seven, both from an edition of 60. These rare proofs exemplify Dubuffet's raw, visceral approach to Art Brut, capturing his signature textural energy and unconventional figuration.

Medium
both signed and numbered B/i and F/g in pencil (one of 9 and 7 artist's proofs lettered A-I and A-G respectively, the edition was 60), published by Mourlot, Paris, both unframed.
