Descriptions Commentary After several decades in the family wine-merchant business, Jean Dubuffet rejected all forms of authority-particularly commercialism and the market-in favor of pursuing his stripped-down art with its greater creative authenticity. His esteem for outsider or childlike art, or art brut, comes through in these two Lieberman bequest lithographs. The Warrior is both totemic and a caricature, while the atmospheric Traces Rectilignes from the Entendues series is more purely abstract. Though the lithographic process produces ostensibly flat images, Dubuffet's interest in texture comes through in the craggy silhouette of the Warrior. In Traces Rectilignes, Dubuffet takes this insistence a step further by manipulating the stone and ink by adding grit and other materials that appear to be in slight relief in the final image Verification Level This record has been reviewed by the curatorial staff but may be incomplete.
