"Esprit de terre" (1959) is a work by French artist Jean Dubuffet, known for his Art Brut and abstract expressionism. Dubuffet's art often incorporated found objects and unconventional materials, exploring textures and patterns of the everyday world. This artwork is an abstract composition with a rough, textured surface reminiscent of earth, sand, or other natural materials. It exemplifies Dubuffet's fascination with the raw and unrefined, challenging conventional notions of beauty and artistic expression.
