L'amphigourique (The Amphigoric One)

Jean Dubuffet · 1954 · slag ·  Accession ID  1995.30.5

An upright, roughly rectangular, earth-brown and peachy-tan shape with ragged edges is at the center of this horizontal, abstract painting. Slowly we realize this central shape is a stylized face and long beard in the shape of a thick, capital letter T. Blocky ears straight across from rectangular eyes and a sketchily drawn nose create the wide crossbeam on the T. There is a peach smudge for the mouth and another band along the bottom of the painting, presumably representing skin on the chest. The rest of the central, dark area, a beard, is textured with sand and clay brown. The areas around the face and beard are streaked and daubed in with fog gray, pearl white, and pale tan. The artist signed and dated the work in the upper right corner, “J. Dubuffet 59.”

Grain-like speckles and dots in shades of sand brown, cream white, smoke gray, and soft black are evenly distributed across the horizontal surface of this abstract painting. The artist signed and dated the upper right corner, "J. Dubuffett '58."

Le temps presse (Time is Running Out)

Jean Dubuffet · 1950 · oil on canvas ·  Accession ID  1995.29.7

A roughly textured, peachy form nearly fills this vertical, abstract painting. A tiny head facing our left in profile and two spindly arms, elbows facing in, suggest this is a person’s body, but the proportions are bulbous and exaggerated. Two stubby legs extend off the lower edge of the canvas. The face has a long, protruding nose, and the eye and slash of the mouth are drawn with slightly darker pink. The background is mottled with darker, terracotta-brown and nickel gray. The artist signed the painting in the lower left corner, “J. Dubuffet 50.”
