Parade nuptiale, from Cahier de l'Herne (Courtship, from Herne Notebook) (W. 1099)
This screenprint by Jean Dubuffet depicts a courtship ritual through the artist's characteristic raw, gestural style, which eschews conventional beauty in favor of primitive and crude visual expression. Created from his Cahier de l'Herne (Herne Notebook) series, the work employs bold color blocking and organic forms typical of Art Brut, the movement Dubuffet pioneered to celebrate art untrained by academic conventions. The composition on tan Canson paper with full margins reflects the artist's interest in elevating everyday subject matter and folk art aesthetics to fine art status.
