"Murissement" (1959) is a work by French artist Jean Dubuffet, known for his "Art Brut" style that celebrated raw, unrefined expression. The work, characterized by its textured, earthy surface, embodies Dubuffet's fascination with the materials and textures of the natural world. The artwork's title, "Murissement," which translates to "ripening" or "maturing," hints at the work's exploration of the natural processes of decay and growth.
