About this work

This print is loud and messy. A big, red blob fills most of the space, with black lines cutting through it like jagged cracks. Inside the red, there’s a face with wide eyes and a grin, surrounded by wavy, almost scribbled shapes. The colors are flat—red, black, white, and a touch of blue—with no shading or depth. The text on the right side names the artist, *Jean Dubuffet*, and mentions a gallery show from 1968. The words are drawn in the same rough, uneven style as the rest of the image.
