Associated Names

Jean Dubuffet

Artist, French, 1901 - 1985

The image depicts a composition of small circular shapes and dots tightly packed together, creating a textured surface. This abstract piece resembles a granular layer, similar to a field of scattered pebbles or a detailed aerial view of a rugged terrain. The random distribution of shapes might remind one of a starry night sky or a foreign, rocky landscape when viewed from above.
