Façades d’immeubles (Building Façades), Dubuffet (Verbal Description)
Listen to the Story: 4 minutes
Description:
The rough texture, somber color palette, and coarse style of Dubuffet’s paintings confront the viewer with their directness. In this work, he depicts a city in a graffiti-like figurative style. He created the animated, crudely drawn stick figures of this postwar apartment complex by scratching through black paint to reveal hidden, delicate colors beneath.
