Grand Maitre of the Outsider - Jean Dubuffet - WikiPaintings.org
Artist: Jean Dubuffet
Completion Date: 1947
Style: Art Brut
Genre: figurative painting
Technique: oil, emulsion
Material: canvas
This pictures is typical of the Hautes Pates series that Dubuffet exhibited to huge controversy in 1946. A
thick, monochromatic surface serves as the ground for the crudely depicted figure, which is a parody of
portraiture. Although Dubuffet undoubtedly intended the series to offend, and his graphic style and thick,
coarse impasto certainly did offend conventional tastes, it is worth noting that the color palette is not as
jarring as it might be. Dubuffet was at least cautiously mindful of the need for success.
