Récit (Story) (W. 1185)

"Récit (Story)" is a colorful screenprint by Jean Dubuffet that exemplifies his Art Brut philosophy through its raw, gestural composition and earthy palette. The work features his characteristic crude, almost childlike mark making and organic forms that reject conventional aesthetics and refined technique. Executed on Arches paper, the print demonstrates Dubuffet's commitment to exploring unconventional materials and processes while celebrating the expressive power of spontaneous, unrefined artistic gestures.
