Art and Design

Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985) was a French artist known for his pioneering work in the Art Brut or "Raw Art" movement, which emphasized raw, unconventional artistic expression often associated with children, outsiders, and the mentally ill. Dubuffet's artworks are characterized by their bold, gestural style, use of unconventional materials, and exploration of texture and form.

"Samedi Tantôt" (translated as "Saturday Afternoon") is a lithograph print created by Jean Dubuffet in 1961. The print is part of a series titled "The Hourloupe Cycle," which features Dubuffet's distinctive style characterized by interconnected lines, shapes, and patterns that resemble a network of interlocking cells or organic forms. "Samedi Tantôt" captures the essence of Dubuffet's unique artistic language, with its dynamic composition, rhythmic repetition, and playful exploration of space and movement.
