The Most Famous Artworks of Art Brut

The 60 most celebrated works of the Art Brut movement, ranked by renown across 135 works in the catalog.

Crenguțelor, pe care sunt poziționate florile, li se unesc vârfurile, deasupra cărora a fost trecută datare: „1960”. Marginal a fost realizat cel de-al doilea registru, format din boboci de culoare albastru și maro roșcat, despărțiți de linii verticale drepte. Două linii circulare drepte încadrează ultimul registru. Farfuria era utilizată în gospodărie pentru decorarea interioarelor. Prezintă uzură funcțională.
