"Or et ombre" (Gold and Shadow) is a 1958 lithograph by French artist Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985), known for his Art Brut style. This work showcases Dubuffet's interest in raw and unrefined textures, often incorporating found materials into his artwork. The piece's title evokes the interplay of light and shadow, reflected in the contrasting tones of gold and dark brown. This abstract composition, reminiscent of a weathered surface, exemplifies Dubuffet's fascination with the beauty of the everyday and the unexpected.
