Jean Dubuffet (1901 – 1985) was a controversial French artist who produced a universally understood creative language that violated all artistic norms. Originally a wine merchant, Dubuffet founded Art Brut (Raw Art), a stark, primitive style inspired by the pure, uncontaminated artwork of children and the insane. He fiercely rejected concepts of beauty and ugliness by depicting dehumanized subjects lost in the chaos of tight spaces. Dubuffet enhanced many of his works with an impasto of asphalt, pebbles and glass. Although Dubuffet's artwork often provoked loathing, it strongly influenced the dawn of Pop Art and neo-Dadaism.
This fine art silkscreen print was produced in an edition of 1000 prints. Created for an exhibition titled The Hourloupe Cycle held at Pace Columbus in Ohio in the mid seventies. Jean Dubuffet is known for his non-painterly paintings. The Inspection of the territory is a good example of his work. It is a silk-screen on thick paper, plate signed lower left but not numbered.
