Impatience 1959

"Impatience" is a 1959 work by French artist Jean Dubuffet, known for his Art Brut style, which rejected traditional artistic conventions and instead focused on the raw, unfiltered expression of the outsider artist. The work features a dense field of small, circular shapes in shades of brown and beige, suggesting a sense of both chaos and organization. Dubuffet's work often incorporated textural elements and unconventional materials, and this piece reflects his fascination with the textures and patterns found in nature, a common theme in his work. This unique style and subject matter contributed to his influential position within the Art Brut movement.
