dé-finition/méthode #107: peinture-puzzle généralisée 1977

Claude Rutault's *dé-finition/méthode #107: peinture-puzzle généralisée* (1977) is a prime example of his conceptual art practice. He uses a white wall as the canvas, where the artwork is created using simple lines and curves, creating a sense of depth and texture. The artist's use of the wall as his canvas, instead of a more traditional medium like canvas, challenges traditional notions of artmaking, questioning the relationship between artist and artwork. Rutault's work explores the idea of "generalized puzzle painting" where the audience becomes an active participant in the artmaking process. This artwork is a prime example of how art can be both simple and profound.
