Jean Dubuffet

Quatre personnages (Four Characters)

Created in Dubuffet's signature Art Brut style, this vibrant screenprint presents four figures rendered in bold, interlocking lines and fragmented forms that blur the boundaries between the characters and their surroundings. The work exemplifies his fascination with raw, untamed mark-making, drawing inspiration from outsider art and the spontaneous creativity found outside conventional artistic tradition. Printed in colors on Arjomari paper, the composition pulses with an energetic, almost primitive vitality that challenges traditional notions of figuration and representation.
