1982
A vibrant and energetic composition, this late work by Jean Dubuffet exemplifies his signature Hourloupe style, featuring bold black outlines filled with flat areas of red, white, and blue that fracture the picture plane into interlocking, puzzle-like forms. A solitary figure merges almost imperceptibly with its surrounding environment, blurring the boundary between subject and setting in a characteristically playful yet disorienting manner. Executed in acrylic on paper laid down on canvas, the work reflects Dubuffet's enduring commitment to challenging conventional artistic hierarchies and celebrating raw, unmediated visual expression.
