La ronde des images

Jean Dubuffet · 1977 · acrylic on paper on canvas ·  Accession ID  1996.81.5

Abstract forms in white, outlined with bold black lines, turn, twist, and curve up around a person with cartoon-like features in this free-standing sculptural piece. The shapes create legs and are pierced with holes, like an abstracted coral reef. The forms are bright white with thick black outlines around all the edges and crossing the curves and angled sides of the forms. In this photograph, it is not possible to see if a vaguely H-shaped section to our left is attached to or stands independently from the row behind it. A person with abstracted eyes, nose, and mouth stands in front of the sculpture, to our right. In this photograph, the sculpture stands on a plinth in a room with a wood floor and a white wall behind it.
