From the series “Paysages grotesques” (1949-1950), created by Jean Dubuffet after his return from a trip to the Sahara. [AR].

• He interweaves nature and man to create labyrinthine scenes characterized by a naive simultaneity and an equal juxtaposition of events.
• The French artist is considered a great innovator of post-war European painting and repeatedly playfully overturns our viewing habits.
• Part of the same private collection for almost 40 years.
